What is the best kind of absentee owner?
Speaking for yourselves those who have marketed successfully to absentee owners. What are the best types in your opinion? Heirs, people in debt, etc (these people are all out of towners in this example)....Obviously other investors and landlords are at the bottom of that list. Unless their in trouble, dumping, or looking to get out.
I'm working on putting together a yellow letter campaign now were we target about 1000 absentee owners split between 4 types 1 fams free and clear, 1 fams who owe at least 100k, 2 fams free clear and 2 fams who owe at least 200k and I'm wondering if I should get even more specific. Say for example heirs only. As they'll probably be highly motivated assuming in-fighting is taking place.
