For Sale by Owner- Broker?

[Tyler Kesling]

Good morning,

Still a newbie but I've found a four in my area that is "For Sale By Owner" that my initial underwriting, from the info I can find, shows it to be a property that would fit my CoC and CF criteria. I'm not sure if I should reach out to the seller directly or if I should work this through a broker. I'm curious how some of you found your brokers and what the process was like of interviewing? If I call the seller directly, is it taboo to start asking for financials or should I just ask if I can send them an LOI?
