Pitching seller financing for off market deals

[Nick Mercurio]

My wife and I live in a fairly high priced market in Southern California and our plan is to house-hack a fourplex in the next few months. We've recently been doing lots of research with regards to finding owners' names and contact information so we can cold call them to set up a meeting to discuss seller financing opportunities. Of course, we'd be looking for someone who is tired of the management, inherited the property or has some sort of issue or problem that disposing of the property would alleviate.

What are some of the most effective ways present this type of opportunity to owners (potential sellers) who are willing to meet with us? What are some good questions to ask to pique their interest enough to even meet with us?
