Calling out to sellers

[Toneisha Moore]

Hello, My name is Tonei and I'm currenlty working towards finding a good deal to whole sale in the Indianapolis, IN area. I've been doing a little driving for dollars and found a couple of properties.  Now I've heard about direct mail, but is it okay to straight up call the sellers off bat to see if they're a motivated seller or is it best to start off with mailing them a couple things here and there to get them to call me instead ? Just want to know others opinion on this. Thanks in adavnce
