Personalize all mail outs , short ,sweet, but highly motivated. 

@Cassandra Sifford Sweet good information.

Bet she never heard of a smartphone before either.And again guess what,  these sweet lil oldtimers are more likely to sell their houses than any other potential.

Those individuals are running puppy mills to suck you into an investment that you think is cute but after a year you are going to wake up next to a dog you really don't want.  

Makes sense, but I would say most single family sells vacant for some reason, most multi sells occupied.Also there is an inventory shortage, so that means retail buyers who will live in the property will often want to pay more than investors.Maybe the other rub is, as an investor if you have a nice sweet property that is occupied and cash flowing like you want, do you want to give that up? 

And they have sweet children. 

While I'm aware that Pit Bulls (and Rottweilers and Dobermans and other restricted breeds) can be and usually are very sweet dogs and good pets. 

. :)Agree on hotels and STRs - cost segregation there is often sweet.

They certainly are taking their sweet time, the bar and marina section was supposed to be open July 4th...

In your case, owning and living in one side of a duplex for $200/mo out of pocket (after paying your taxes, insurance, operating expenses, and debt service) still sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
