They don't add "nonsense fees" for "hey I don't like your hair style" etc.  

I'd only heard about home hair dye that women use in the shower.Is that hair dye or shoe polish?

It's great for pizza and hair salons however not selling a specific piece of real estate.I would however send a postcard to the following list of property owners.

I have dealt in distressed asset pretty much my entire 42 years in real estate.There are defiantly situations where sellers just want to walk.. these are usually extreme hoarder houses or other properties that have a lot of hair on them.but for wholesaling to work the only way it does work since 99% of wholesalers sell to investor flippers.. is there has to be enough equity for the end user.. ( although many times wholesalers price property so high they can never close on it).. the bigger wholesalers in our market actually buy them at courthouse were they have to pay cash.our market is just too hot that mid west deep south wholesaling in any kind of volume is pretty difficult 

Two years later they are still dealing with this house they want out of their hair, except the house is two years older, and now has squirrels living in it, and that mold problem has invaded the living room. 

The blanket technique doesn't really work but if you use the vacant house list and absentee list and probate etc.. you can laser target your campaign.

And that is why escrow these days is so last minute.. compared to the old days when you got your docs a few weeks in advance and if there were issue you could work on them.. now its hair on fire if you have a last second issue.Lately we have been getting phishing from FATCO  wanting us to open up our supposed escrow instructions  quick glance someone might do it.. but when you read it .. total BS the ones i am getting have FLA address and a LA phone number etc..
