Mail letter or call for off market fourplex? WWYD

[Account Closed]

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?
