Jason (AL) 1 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Just wondering if any of you are marketing to those that are open to renting and/or selling. Here's an example ad:3 bedroom, 2 bath house for rent. $950/mo, $950 deposit. Sign a lease before April 1, 2009 get half off the first months rent. Nice size fenced back yard, rents with appliances. Ask for an emailed application or appt to see. Will sell, rent, or lease-purchase. Priced to move if buying. This house only needs three things: Y, O, and U...Your cat stays free. It would seem that this would be an ideal lead to make anoffer on.On the other hand, the ad seems like it's by someone with some experience.Of course, it's not going to hurt anything by responding (I did, by the way), but just wondering yourthoughts and experiences and also how to get them to play ball by allowingyou into the picture should a CA be in mind.

You have to swing the bat to hit the ball. So swing as much as you can. Thomas http://www.fhamortgageprograms.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason (AL) 1 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah, this is true. My thoughts are, "If they're already offeringa lease purchase, then why do they need me?" As of right now, I'm not marketing to agentsand property management companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Jason, I always hit up these homeowners when I see an ad where they say "For Sale or Rent". You already know they aren't hung up on being cashed out, so that usual obstacle is out of the way. And don't assume because they are advertising this way that it means they are knowledgeable about a lease purchase. Based on my experience they probably aren't, and certainly not to the extent that we are. If they're open minded and serious there's a good chance for a deal. In any event, the email you send them is free and but a minute of your time.And, yeah, I skip past Agents and management companies, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I wouldn't think so. What can you offer them that they aren't already doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BEV! 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I wouldn't think so. What can you offer them that they aren't already doing?And in addition, the property management will have one LESS customer when the option is exercised in a yr or two.. Is a no go for property managements for me too. I keep it simple and clean (not messy) My dominatrix philosophy is to market to people who are NOT looking for what I have to offer. That's why I market to FRBO because they are not looking to sell their house.When I introduce the CA to them, they get excited because is a total new approach for them with a rewarding ending, so in my opinion, the chances for a FRBO to go for a CA is greater in this case.

NoTiceViCtor 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 When you introduce the CA to them do you build rapport first? I am having difficult in finding my natural phone script per Se. First I've just bluntly said I am with a property management company and they hang up or just say NO So I tried asking about their house first and then I say "Sounds like you have a wonderful house would you be interested in a lease purchase?"... and Nada. These have been only some calls to the FSBO, I have not called FRBO's. Is it more productive on a FRBO? - Victor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BEV! 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2009 I am having difficult in finding my natural phone script per Se. First I've just bluntly said I am with a property management company and they hang up or just say NO LOL don't take it personal is just that they probably think you're gonna charge them a fee to rent their house like all other property managements, that's all. There are 3 titles homeowners do not tolerate in my local area.. Title #1: Property Management (the caller hangs up instantly)Title #2: Investor (caller says "scam" and hangs up)Title #3: Agent/Realtor (the caller hangs up and runs for his life) I'm sure those titles work in other areas though but not in mine. I have not called FRBO's. Is it more productive on a FRBO? It works for me, is my gifted niche BEV!PS. Love your avatar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoTiceViCtor 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2009 PS. Love your avatarYeah I got it in my garage There are 3 titles homeowners do not tolerate in my local area.. Interesting How? I can't see how you can get around that without mentioning it. Can I say I have a wife who is expecting our first child and saw their house and we love the house that we want a good deal on it? What's your strategy? - Victor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
