88 jingo rd, thanks for the lead!
Kidding.
I would use key words, like cash, pay all closing costs, can help you through any situation, help them move even ect ect ect. This is a people business, not a house business.
E-mail might be a good idea.
Don't mention wholesaling, you are a cash buyer.
Make it a bit of a pitch but not too aggressive. Tell them you want to buy 3 houses in the neighborhood and for them to call you this week for a no hassle cash offer.
Just my thoughts, we use yellow letters, post cards and type written letters. Reach out of if you get hung up on anything.
