The owner wasn't a absentee owner so I ruled out the fact of me mailing him a postcard.

Hi Chad
Our company specializes I'm distressed property I have purchased 2 difforent distressed properties in the last 3 weeks. I know it's the best way for an investor to buy homes. The reason is simple, the built in urgency the foreclosure brings to the deal. Become an expert and you will be rewarded handsomely, don't let some nay sayer tell you it's over. Talk to long term investors, you will hear the real story with them. Learn the tricks of the trade and enjoy working with people that really need your help. We typically start out with clients in tears and not sure what will happen to them and end with people restarting there life with are help. Call me anytime if you need help
