OfflineI just recently posted an ad on Craigslist trying to build my buyers list. I had a hit from an investor who would like me to call her to talk about my inventory and some of the types of homes that she is interested in. I currently have no inventory and would like to set up a phone conference with her to discuss what she is looking for and this could result in my first deal. I just need to know what to say to her as I am very nervous and do not want to lose her as a potential customer. I know that I need to be honest with her, but if someone could help coach me on how to go about talking to her in a professional manner that would be wonderful.
Thanks Jen

When investors respond to our ghost ads we tell them that the property is no longer available. I have been honest and upfront about being new with them. Some of them even took their time to share their knowledge and experience.
Be yourself and be confident. You will have great deals for her.
Best of luck to you in REI and all that you do.

Lea gave you some good advice about being hoenst about what you currently have available. Most investors are happy if you find deals and bring them to them in the future. So learn from this investor the following:
1. do there have an interest in what specific area
2. what are certain features they may desire (such as a duplex over SFH)
3. what price range
4. percentage price diso****ed compared to FMV. For example thsi investor may want proeprties at 65% of FMV.
I hope this helps. Good luck on your future deals. Believe and Achieve!

Thank you for the advice. I will keep these questions in mind for our phone conversation. I think that so that I am completely prepared is write down list of things that I would like to ask her and then I can record the answers so that I can remember all of her criteria.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey everyone,
Here is a rough draft of what the sheet looks like to help me not lose it during my conference call tomorrow. Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Meeting with Ebbie
1. Are you interested in SFH, Commercial, Land, or MFU?
2. What is the price range that you would like to stay in?
3. What area would you like to stay in?
4. How much equity are you looking to have in the property when purchased?
5. What is the percentage price of fair market value you are looking for?
Thanks for all of your help!
