Marketing to Zombie Houses.......

[FRANK DARIENZO]

So I drive around targeted zip codes. I find vacant "zombie" houses, in which I write down the address and take a good photo. After my research I send out a handwritten letter w. pic of there house. Question??? What happens when I do get a deal going and the owner is 1000 miles away and the house is locked up? Whatis the best way to do the contracts and getting a key? Please help me out. I was all into this type of marketing, but I received my first response, and I may already have a deal in the works. How to proceed?
