Tips on creating a good letter to potential sellers

[Dakota Mathis]

Hello everyone, I’m new to BP. So to get strait to the point. After stumbling onto the Bigger Pockets pod cast I’m on the search for a buy and hold investment property’s. Iv made a few offers on different duplex’s to no avail. After I view them I drive around the neighborhood looking for vacant property. So iv found a couple that are vacant and the owners don’t live there. I would like to send them letters. I don’t want to go the yellow letter approach but a little more personable. The houses are run down and need work so I’m thinking of doing a live in flip to either hold for rentals or sell to get some capital. So looking for tips that have been successful for other individuals. Also is it a good idea to mention seller financing as an option in an opening letter?

Thank you everyone for any and all tips

Sincerely
