    Here is a sample of the 1st Letter I send out to pre-foreclosure Owners.

    It's part of my 3 Step Mktg. Campaign Outlined in both my RE Classifieds AD Developer and Preforeclosure & FSBO Mktg. Bible available here on TCI!

    ------------The LETTER #1 -----------------

    January 6, 2003



    Dear Barry White,


    My name is Derrick Ali. I am a private real estate investor (not a broker) here in Jackson. My expertise is helping homeowners to help themselves. I saw your home loan troubles listed in the public records.
    Your bank has legally recorded both your payment difficulties and their intent to sell your home.
    I would be honored to gain the opportunity to sit down with you and discuss ways that you and I can work together to resolve your home loan problem, save your credit and possibly some of your hard-earned equity.
    I am interested in buying a home in your neighborhood at a fair price and would be delighted in working out a mutually beneficial agreement. I am only interested in creating win/win solutions that can put thousands of dollars in your pocket in just a few short days!
    There are no closing costs or commissions and I can even take care of any back payments to your lender! You can realize an immediate return on your investment, preserve your credit rating, and I will be able to acquire a property I can afford.

    Time is quickly running out. And I only have enough money left to purchase 3 more properties before January 31st. If you have some flexibility and need a quick solution I can stop the stranglehold on your financial wellbeing and help you sleep better tonight so give me a call anytime at your convenience.

    There is absolutely no obligation to discuss solutions we may discover for your current situation. Finally, I will keep everything we discuss confidential to ensure protection of both you and your family. I hope to hear from you soon for time is now your greatest enemy.

    Sincerely,




    Derrick Ali

    Glad to meet you.

    I would assume that since you are driving the area looking at distressed properties then you want to contact the distressed owners that you are possibly looking for re-hab's.

    Would this be a correct assumption on my part? What method of investing are you looking to do?

    Let us know,
