I want to start leaving letters at abandoned or empty homes in an attempt to reach home owners and I was wondering if anybody that had applied this strategy had an example letter of this sort..I was thinking to just write to call me in case they are willing to sell, but then again, without a properly written letter, this might backfire as people might not understand my intend.. so before I write one of my own, I was hoping to hear some suggestions , so please share if you know anything about this topic.
