As I said at the end of my post yesterday, I was going to call up Caller #1 and make an offer.  Having never done this before I was really unsure how to go about doing it, but after some deep thoughts I came up with a good strategy. First I wanted to sound like I was trying to get him the best price possible. I did this by apologizing for taking a few days to get back to him, but i …

First Probate Call! and Give Away Week!

Scott Costello All, Blog, Probate Investing 46 Comments

It didn’t take very long, that is for sure!  I sent out the probate letters Tuesday at noon and the first call came in today while I was at work.  Unfortunately I can’t answer the phone at work (speaking of which I’ve got a question that I’ll ask later), so I called the guy back when I got home from work.  Was I nervous?  Yup!  The phone call went very quickly.  Not much was really said as my goal was …
