Vacant House next door...

Jason McLendon
  • Springville, AL
Posted

Hello everyone,

  I just started looking at a deal over the weekend. I went to do a "drive by" to get an impression of the overall condition. My strategy is to buy, rehab, and rent,

   When I arrived, I noticed the house next to it is vacant as well. Windows and doors are boarded up, and looks to have been empty for a little while. My realtor got me the information on the owner, and he is local to the area.

  My question is, what is the best way to reach out to him to see if he would like to sell??

I am hoping to do two homes this year, so could be a blessing, I think, to have them next door to each other...The other side of that is that if the guy does not want to sell, and keeps it the way it is now... It will cause me problems when trying to rent the other one when I get it ready.

Any thoughts on this??

Jason
