Making offers as an agent

[Sean Faxon]

Hello all, 

I'm a relatively new agent and hopeful investor.  I would like to start making offers on properties I come across while farming (run down houses with equity, short sale potentials, etc.).  As an agent I'm not sure the best way to go about this.  Should I mail or knock and deliver a completed Residential Purchase Agreement (RPA) or a simpler one page offer.  As an agent I feel like I should use the RPA but I don't want to intimidate a potential seller or come across as predatory if pursuing a short sale.  Everyone's thoughts are appreciated!
