Targeting a specific property?

[Frank Oudheusden]

I've used Listsource.com to pull all the property information within my target market area. Within this area I can isolate all the owner-occupied and rental properties.

I have targeted a specific duplex across the street from a property I've purchased within the last year. The outside looks great (high-hopes for the inside) and it's the largest duplex in the targeted area (2x 4BR apartments, 1000 sqft each) and includes a detached garage.

I was able to pull the owner information from the county website and through a quick Google search have found the owners current home (4 streets over from this property) and their phone number.

Is targeting a specific property like this naive?

Is this fishing for a single fish in an entire ocean?

This property isn't on the market but I'd like to call them and discuss the possibility of them selling it, how does this conversation normally go?
