Need help writing a letter to owner of 4 unit building
Hello BP family! I have been following BP for many years, and I am finally taking the plunge to invest in my own properties!
There is a 4 unit building that i have had my eye on for a long time. I will need to use creative financing to purchase.
I did some digging on the owners and they are in their 70s, have owned it for a really long time, and they do not have any other properties besides their personal residence.
I want to write a letter of intent, introducing myself, explaining why and how I want to buy it with seller financing (sell your home while still making money off it monthly) but I am concerned about coming off as “scammy”. Anyone here have any advice on what to write and how to write it to accomplish my goal? Thanks so much!

With Covid and them being older, I don’t think that’s a good idea
