As far as finding deals, my plan is to start a mailing campaign and go the wholesaling route.

Most places have online property search tools that will give you the owner's name and mailing address for free.

Just a friendly reminder, Akron has some ROUGH areas.I started off in a similar city in Ohio with C-/D areas.

What important business mail will be coming to what will now be your old address?

We used a service and a proven letter, I mailed every month for 6 months, actually alternating 500 every two weeks, so I had more time to follow up with the usually 30-ish responses. 

Send it certified mail, return receipt requested if you are so inclined. 

I always remind myself that nothing can be as bad as the rent decline in 2020-2021 in major cities such as SF..

Kind of reminds me of Malpractice insurance.. poor doctors on the hook for years and years.. never really off the hook until they pass.. :).I get it on these small NP seconds  a buy back for your company is not probably a lot of money.. so as long as you don't have a run on the bank and the fact that there is probably a very nice premium on the note in the first place your buy back is doable..

Quote from @Max Kulishov: Have you guys gotten any deals sending direct mail?
