Yellow Letter to a single house

[Dave Klemarczyk]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get into buy-and-hold investing. I'm not interested in wholesaling and spending time with mass marketing. There is, however, a duplex just a few streets over that I would like to get under my control. From a county records search I've found the property has been under the same owner since 1975. They don't live at the property, but on another street in the neighborhood. At this point I thought it my be best to write a more personalized yellow letter than what you would typically see.

I thought I would mention that "I have lived in this neighborhood my whole life and would like to take a look at purchasing your property..." What would you include? Is it better to just knock on their door at their current residence and introduce myself as living in the neighborhood?

Thanks,

Dave

I researched the owner of a vacant house and the mailing address was a UPS Store. I sent a letter. Then 30 days or so later sent a second letter. After the second letter he called me and I ended up buying the house.

So can I now market my $97 direct mail marketing system that has historcially achieved a 100% deal closing rate? I need to do this before I send any more letters.
