mailing out cold letters

[Josh Pugh]

I have a small list of leads on vacant or run down homes that I would like to send mailers out in hopes to purchase the homes. I have never sent a mailer out before and looking for suggestions anyone may have. I plan to hand write the letter to keep it personable and local. I think I'm making this harder than it probably is. Anyone have good success with mailers that can give me some pointer on maybe some do's or don't?

Stick with personal. What is the list build? High equity, 10 years owned or preforeclosure or absentee. It matters. This is for homeowners below:

Hi, my name is Josh. I am a local resident looking for my first investment property. I walk by your house all the time and just wanted to check in with you to see if you have thought about selling now or any time in the future. I love this neighborhood. I am not a big flipping or investing company. I am just a hometown kid looking to start his investing journey. If you need any help with anything or just want to talk about your property, call me anytime. Insert number. - Josh
