The Creative Investor - It takes a good

I've heard or investors knocking on doors of possible deals, and saying, I am an investor, and want to buy your house from you.

Although this sometimes works, it sometimes is a little to suttle for owners, and don't intend on working with them. When I knock on doors, I have a "pitch" that I have worked on, and have changed until I have gotten to where I am now. I usually start off with, "Hello, sir/mam, my name is_____, and I found that you may be facing a foreclosure." I then go on with " I specialize in dealing with foreclosures, owners,

and the banks. I can stop your foreclosure, and get you back on your feet." If you havn't already done so, I would like to sit down with you and discuss some possibilites in helping you out"

Then I go on to explain to them the process. I have learned from experience and from talking with others, that the way you present your self and offer assistance, usually is the deciding factor between you and other investors. Make sure you show interest in there problem. Don't keep looking at your watch, show concern. You won't believe how much a "pitch" will decide the outcome. Good Luck
