Driving for Dollars. My Last Two Days

The last two days have been fun. I picked a couple of neighborhoods that I was very familiar with and started driving each street. Anytime I found a house that looked abandoned, I would stop and jot down the address. After each day, I would sit down in from of my computer and check the county appraisal district website to see if the owner lived at the address. Day 1 was in the neighborhood I grew up and out of the 16 house I wrote down, 6 of them were absentee owner. Day 2 (today) I drove around a neighborhood where I spent a lot of time in in my youth and of the 12 houses I wrote down, 11 of them were absentee owners. I either got really good, really fast, or I got lucky today

I wrote up 17 letters total. One to each of the house owners. Nothing special, just a letter saying I was interested in buying their house if they were interested in selling. Then addressed the envelopes by hand and sealed them to be ready for stamps tomorrow and then dropped in the mail.

All the contact and house information is on my spreadsheet and I'll track when I sent out letters, and any response I might get. I'll send letters or postcards once a month for at least the next 6 months.
