Wholesaling vacant homes

[Michael Hayes]

I'm starting out in wholesaling and just wondering what some of the other member's experiences have been with trying to wholesale vacant homes?  I have seen a couple of vacant properties here in Memphis that I am interested in pursuing, but not sure how much pursuing vacant properties differs from what I normally see. I plan on sending a couple of yellow letters to the owners since I was able to find their information on the tax assessors site. Can anyone share their experiences?  Problems that you have run into?  Has anyone found a niche in pursuing vacant homes?  Success stories?  Horror stories?
