I was following the BP playbook of creating an emotional connection with the seller by sending pictures. that's something Brandon turner has been recommending for ages. well keep in mind the 2% rule does not work anymore either and laws are constantly changing.NOW  this might not apply to NON owner occ homes and commercial purpose  type transactions .. i just know you cant do it for the average buyer looking to buy from the owner occ seller and live in it.. there may be a commercial carve out.these letters were VERY common until the new law passed this is why you rely on your agent to keep you abreast of the actual laws and rules.
