Coronavirus and door knocking

[Jordan Foster]

I am working strenuously to acquire my first deal. However, my market (SLC, UT) is very competitive. Wholesalers are asking way too much for a flip to be profitable. I've been considering taking up door knocking on pre-forclosures, but I'm wary. I'm not sure what a home owner's thoughts will be about a stranger knocking their door, considering this "pandemic" going around.

On the one hand, I don't think many others will be trying to knock doors, because they don't wanna contract anything. On the other hand, people might not answer doors, because they don't wanna contract anything😒

Should I try knocking, or should I make calls, etc? Any help insight would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has any deals in Utah to offload, hit me up!
