2.2.4.5.3. You're in business to make money today!

2.2.4.5.4. You are the one asking the questions.

2.2.4.5.5. Play the role of the "reluctant buyer". They need to sell their house to you. You are not selling a program.

2.2.4.5.6. You should know in 3-5 minutes if they are ready to do a deal

2.2.4.5.7. Don't spend so much time explaining your "rent to own" program to them. Ask them if you can send them an email that explains everything. Tell them you're in a hurry, or you have a bunch of clients to talk to, and it would be easier and more efficient if you just email them some information and they can call you after they review it if they're interested.

2.2.4.5.8. Send them something in the mail (No one is doing this!)

2.2.4.6. Great questions for sellers

2.2.4.6.1. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about your house to see if it would even be something I would be interested in?

2.2.4.6.3. How quickly do you need to sell?

2.2.4.6.4. What would you like to see happen?

2.2.4.6.5. What are you going to do if you can't sell the house? Rent it?

2.2.4.6.6. I am looking for an investment property that I can lease for a couple years and then buy. That wouldn't work for you, would it?

2.2.4.6.7. Sounds like a really nice house. Why haven't you sold it yet? (Or, why would you even want to sell it?)

2.2.4.6.8. "My mortgage broker & I have a bunch of buyers on the verge of getting a mortgage and are looking for homes in your area."

2.2.4.6.9. "What if I could lease your property for 1-2 years, pay the rent on the 1st of very month, take care of all the day-to-day maintenance and repairs, then buy the house at the end of that time without you having to pay any commissions, what would you want to do then?"
