What should I say in my letter

Mark Nichols

I recently went driving for dollars in my neighborhood. I found a property that seemed promising (it did not look in the best shape). What really caught my eye was a Sheriff notice on the door entitled "Notice To Vacate." I'm guessing they had to evict some tenants. I did the research and found a name and address for the owner. It was indeed a different address than the property in my neighborhood and the property was incorporated under an LLC. My question is this. What should I include in my letter to the owner? I was planning on keeping it short and sweet simply asking if they were interested in selling. Though after some contemplation I thought maybe I should be phrasing the letter in a different way. Maybe I should offer more than just asking if they want to sell. Any ideas how I could improve my letter to the owner? Thanks in advance BP community!

@Corey Woodruff is right. Keep it simple and use some keywords that potential sellers like to hear: cash, close on day of choice, sell as-is, no commissions, etc. 

Keep in mind that follow-ups are important. I would suggest to keep the first couple of touches very simple, then elaborate further in later touches if you would like. Send a marketing piece every 3-5 weeks to keep your name at the top of their mind.
