Florida Absentees = Snowbirds...problem

Sean Gibson

Posted

I've received 12 calls already out of the 128 yellow letters I sent out Tuesday. The problem is they are all "snowbirds" who live out of state but come down here for the winters and are not highly motivated. I have two that are somewhat interested who paid cash in 08 and still want more than what it's worth as they don't want to lose money. They want me to follow up and I'm thinking perhaps approaching them with a lease option. Feeling kinda frustrated due to the huge snowbird population down here that are the majority of absentees. I am, however populating a probate list I received thanks to contacts at the courthouse. I am highly determined to make this real estate venture work.
