Hello BP, I am wondering what good areas I should familiarize myself with that contain small apartment buildings ranging from 2-20 units. I am in search of seller financed deals. What areas should I avoid? I am going to self manage. Thanks!

Own my market

Charles Wiegert I really appreciate that. I like the format of your letter and I might put my on little spice on it. How far back should I go in contacting these landlords?

Pratik P. Thanks a lot Pratik for the insight. I just want to do this the correct way and not be labeled other than an investor. Do you have any suggestions on letters message?

Don't go too far back or you run the risk of finding people who have already sold.  400 people is not a bad starting list.  Don't forget to keep at it.  Most deals are made after several points of contact.

 Thanks a lot for insight Will.

Thanks for your insight @Brent Coombs!

@Brent Coombs What would you say while trying to market to tired landlords?

@Jeff Rabinowitz I have not sent any letters yet but, that is what others have written before so it is just a template. I am trying to fix it and make it better. If you can help that would be great!

Great info @Jay Hinrichs! I was thinking about becoming a real estate agent but I wasn't 100% sure. I have to do more research to understand what you are suggesting me do. Using a transactional lender are you suggesting as a real estate agent I buy the properties with them and sell them through the broker? I am kind of confused. I am very determined and I love to learn please share more!

Hey BP,

So currently I've sent out letters to landlords (Not in LLC or Apartment complexes) who have filed an eviction in the last 2 weeks. My counties public records file daily and go back til about March 2015. How far should I go back and how often should I send to these landlords?

Also, how should I write my letters? What should I say specifically? I know they have to be tweaked compared to sending letters to a regular owner.

My current letters read:

Dear Homeowner,

My name is Ahshar Sylvestre. I see you have recently evicted someone. I am interested in buying your property! I can pay CASH & can close quickly. Please contact me today at... Thanks, Ahshar

I want to change this overall as I do not want to deceive sellers in my marketing. I can not pay cash as I am trying to wholesale.

Thanks
