I will stick with my have a lot  Until someone provides a better mail piece with absolute proof I will stick with my 1 in 1,000, or less until someone provides a better ad copy and absolute proof.The cost to send direct mail to everyone is too expensive.

Tenants always have the upper hand.I would even run your C4K letter by an attorney, because what if you give cash, and they give you THEIR set of keys, but then show up the next day with the copied set?

Offer to give the seller a written copy of your written home inspection report too (even if you back out of the deal)State your case and present to seller's agent for review..ASK FOR SELLER TO INITIAL ANY OF YOUR WRITTEN OFFERS he rejects as proof he has seen them!
