Purchasing a property from direct mail marketing
Lets say someone starts a direct mail marketing campaign. They send out letters and get a response. The homeowner replies and you go and view the property... you like the property and want to buy.... is it common to get real estate agents involved at this point? or what is the expected way to handle the purchase of an off market deal?

Hey Robert-
All you need is a great lawyer and they will know how to handle the title and paperwork (or if an agency is needed, not sure WI laws). I found my first deal driving for dollars for a mentor and am now a huge fan of direct mail campaigns due to James's points above. No commission fees either! Lock it down and best of luck!
