Rip it to shreds - I’m thinking outloud with this:
The following is an attachment for a letter of intent. The property has an ARV of approx. $375,000 minimum. Asking price: 349,000 (dropped from 370,000), owners are not in home. No mortgage on home. House in need of many repairs. And agent has told me, that seller “will take” $325k.
The following I have typed up. I want to send a letter of intent with three offers. Read this as if you were an investor. Does it sound professional? Stupid? Silly? Comments?
Here goes:
