Making offers on off-market deals

George G.

I have this strategy where I am able to locate good properties that fit my strategy. Then I look up the tax records to get the owners information. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make offers to owners of these off-market properties and bring them to the table?

1. Should I find an agent to represent me and make offers? If so, why would the owner agree to pay this agent the commission?

2. Or should I mail an offer to the physical address? Perhaps make a "very good" offer to bring them to the table and then resubmit an offer price after I get some financials?

I've invested in several deals with Nitya Capital in Houston in large apartment complexes and have learned tremendously. 

Would you like to hear what you guys have to say.
