MLS Listings

[Tim E.]

I've seen opinions that seem to be all over the map. So I thought about asking the question: Is it worth pursuing a buy & hold property once it's hit the MLS? Is there a preferred method of pursuit?

In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure there are an infinite number of variables for any/every situation.

Personally what I did many years ago is have my Realtor pull up recently expired listings on the MLS. Then I sent the owners letters offering to buy their property. Especially if the property is vacant and it sat for 6 months on the MLS without selling, you may be able to find a motivated seller.
