Need assistance on JV so I don’t get backed doored

[Crystal Sutton]

I found these two properties, both of them are in terrible condition. Non livable. A homeless guy showed me the properties hidden a wooded area,l. I couldn't find addresses, but I found them on a Google Map. I want to know the proper way to JV so I don't get screwed. I found the owners name and new address through the App LandGlide but no phone number. Is direct mail my only option?

First off, didn't your mother teach you not to follow homeless men into the woods? This sounds like the great beginning of a real bad story!

I would have to wonder if this is even a good location for a home since it appears to be a homeless hangout. Doesn't sound like a great location. Even if it is a good location, what's the value of the land for you? If a normal lot sells for $50,000 and you can pick this one  up for $20,000, would that be good enough to make you jump?

If you're determined to pursue, hire someone to perform a skip trace and track down the owner. Or just use direct mail marketing.
