Tax Liens - First Direct Mail Letter

[Mike Russ]

HI - I am working on sending my first round of direct mail to tax delinquent property owners.  My objective is to purchase these properties for resale or potentially work out lease to own agreements with the existing owners that may be in a bad spot for whatever reason.  I would appreciate any critiques to the draft letter below.  I am not sure if I should directly mention that I found the property through a county records search or if I should keep it more generic, any advice from an experienced person in this area would be great!

Dear Owner XYZ,

My name is Michael Russ and I am looking to purchase homes in the Dayton area.

I am not sure if you are interested in selling your property at this time but if you are inclined to sell or think you may sell in the near future, please call, email, or text me using the information provided below.

I am a local real estate investor and can act quickly handling the entire process from start to finish. I strive to find a mutually beneficial deal that will work for all parties involved and would appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

Thank you,

Michael Russ

@Mike Russ I think it is a great start I like that you kept it nice an short. I would take out "I am not sure if you are interested in selling your property at this time" because you are immediately planting doubt in their mind. Instead just go to if you are looking to sell your property now or in the near future... or something along those lines so that you get right to the point.
