Motivated Seller Communication

[Camillia W.]

Question..

I have been Driving for dollars in local philly neighborhoods and have researched and found owners and addresses.  How should I approach these conversations to get them under assignment for Wholesale? I guess my only form of contact is mailing correct? I have a tiny buyers list, but could use some more guidance on how to properly execute this first one!

@Camillia W.  Direct mail / Yellow letters etc work.. but before you waste time/money handjamming letters, do some old fashioned door knocking. If it's enough of an eyesore, more than likely some of the neighbors are tired of looking at it and would love to have someone buy it and fix it up. Drive by, knock, leave notes; "Hi, im Camillia, I buy houses, do you happen to know/have the contact info for the owners of the house next door?" 

My last deal came after not being able to track down the owners of an abandoned house (didn't reply to mail, no phone # on record, no relatives, no social media) So I decided to leave a bandit sign in the front yard that said "If you know the owner, please call me, id like to buy it ###-####"

Neighbor called the same day with the seller's number.
