Mail letter or call for off market fourplex? WWYD
I have a ton of addresses of properties I am interested in for my first investment. We are going to use FHA.
I have found phone numbers for most properties. Whether or not they are good numbers is a different story.
I have drafted a letter describing our desires to move to a new town and live in the property. I'm hoping this appeals to someone out there.
So, would you call first to check the validity of the numbers? Get them on the phone and try to explain you want to buy their property for these reasons? Or just send the letter, then follow up on phone in a few weeks or so?

Call or mail, but DO SOMETHING. I got a few properties both ways.
Also on top of that, follow up on them. If they say no then send them a letter in a few month reminding them that you are interested. And a few month after that. Their situation might change, you might get referral etc. but most important is that they know you and that you are interested.
If they say to stop then stop but don't quit until then.
