Letter to off market property owner

Hello Everyone,

I am just getting into real estate investing and want to start purchasing properties to flip. I know of a few properties in my area that I am interested in. How should I structure a letter to the current property owners to see if they would be interested in selling their home? Does any have a template or advice on how to write this letter?

@Nickolas Graham when I was doing this I always had the best results with a handwritten note...clean good quality folding 4x6 notecard and hand addressed envelope...blue ink...always. The message should be short and simple...reference the owners name and property if you have it...I used to target duplex owners, so a message like

"Hi John,

My name is Brandon and I'm a local investor buying duplexes...your property at 123 Main St. looks like a great fit. Let's grab a coffee or jump on a call...I'd love to tell you more about our programs!

Call me here; 999-999-9999"

I would also include a business card...you can include any variation of the message, just let them know who you are and what you want with a call to action

Good luck!
