Since wholesaling is my chosen avenue to get involved with real estate investing (due to my desire to scale my business based upon being self-reliant in finding deals for fixing-and-flipping in the future), I'm a little sensitive to (perceived) acts of disregard for the profession. 

Elio L.angry callers are the least of your worries, its the old man whos on disability that has nothing but time to file a lawsuit for predatory sales tactics...Short sales leads are sensitive people as they should be...Just be careful what you put in the letter, don't tell them you want to help them, don't give them legal advice, if your looking to buy their property make sure that's all you tell them..

Peoples' B.S. meter is pretty sensitive when going through the mail.

We all know those agents that can be overly sensitive in thinking that you're attempting to solicit their listing, even though your INTENT is to potentially buy (not list) the property.
