Vacant/distressed property mailing

[Erin Stephens]

Hello! Newish investor in the Baltimore area. Haven't been having much luck getting offers accepted off the MLS (single family for rental) so I've started looking for off-market deals. There is a vacant home around the corner from me and I am planning on mailing the owner (and the owners of some local houses that look unkempt). I found the names of the owners of the vacant property. My thought was to send a letter to them at the vacant property with "address service requested" on the envelope to see if I can get an updated address for the owner. Does this sound like a reasonable place to start? Thanks for any advice! -Erin
