Re: approaching homes facing foreclosure that are listed with an
We have bought a couple of deals from homeowner in foreclosure or other wise in distress. I don't tell them I am an investor or that the house is for me. Most people tell other people to much of their business unnecessarily. I simply say, Hi, I'm Janet and I have been looking for a home in this area. I have a very flexible lender so I can possibly purchase your home fast enough to help you with the situation you are dealling with. Would you like to talk?
They don't need to know that I am a investor or that the reason I have a flexible lender is that my bank has standing credit for me because of the number of deals I do. I am not lying, I am truthful, I have been looking for a home in that area, that's how I found them. If they approached me outright and asked me if I was an investor I would answer truthfully but I have never been asked. People don't care about you and what your plans are or what your needs are. People care about their own problems and what you can do to help them solve them. After all if you are looking for a loan do you want to hear about what the loan officer is getting out of helping you with your loan, or do you want to know what he is going to do for you?
