Vacation Property Cold Call
I am completely new to Real Estate and I am interested in Investing in vacation properties. I found a place that I would like to purchase for my family and also learn what it takes to flip the property. It is very grown up and looks like it hasn't been taken care of in years. I have found the owners address but can't find their phone number. I would like to visit with them on the property. Would it be better for my husband and I to stop by their house and ask if they are willing to sell their property or send them a letter in the mail? If it is ok for us to stop by their house what is the best time to go? Should I try around 5 on a weeknight or stop by on a weekend? What is the best way to make them feel comfortable and open to our request?
