Letter of Intent to Purchase

We've been talking about ways to reduce risk for beginners so you can muster enough courage to do that first deal.  One of the best ways to mitigate risk in real estate is by doing a thorough financial evaluation as part of your due diligence.

But here's a great tip from our friends over at FlippingHomes.com.  Using a Letter of Intent to make your offers is a great way to ease your nerves as a beginner and I strongly encourage you to start applying this idea if you are having trouble getting started.  I used this approach myself when starting out and it certainly helped me.  I remember being quite anxious signing a contract for the first time.  So for those of you looking for a little more peace of mind, this might help.

So, there you have it.  A quick and easy tip today but a very effective one for beginners.

Yeah, good job, JP. I think it's easy to forget how useful little tips like this are to people when starting out. I know I suddenly felt much more relaxed about making offers when I had a Letter of Intent I could use.

It is also a way to put it in "dummy terms" or "layman's terms"…Some beginners get frightened just by the look of an official contract. This is a great start
