Hi all. After buying Michael's book several months ago and lurking around this forum for quite some time, I finally kicked myself in the arse and made a move. I started e-mailing FSBO's from craigslist and rec'd several maybe's and one "interested". I followed up the "interested" with a second e-mail that included the LPA and rec'd a reply with some basic questions. After I gathered up some courage I made the phone call, got some basic information and now I'll be sending over a short offer. I know it's not a deal yet but it's a small victory for me anyway. I also need to say that without the encouragement, wisdom, information, and humor from Michael C. and the rest of the people that contribute to this forum, I may have never taken this small step. So a heartfelt thanks to all.
