I again still think it depends on the wording and the relationship such as the loan officer and underwriter.

There IS an existing one, I’d be interested in starting a relationship with the owner.

It can be an effective way to alienate potential clients ... when I receive such unsolicited communications, I make a point to add the sender to my list of folks with whom I will not do business.

I'd be really curious to know what areas you're focused in, what your relationship with the manager/ owner/ other tenants in the building is like, and your cashflow numbers (if you'd be willing to share obviously).

I actually don't want to do much direct mail, just letters for probate and maybe some postcards to tired landlords.Video clips, short ones, are 'probably' a little more effective, at least to start. 

ABC Management may have 30 years experience, proven systems, contractor relationships, and other services you can't begin to provide.If you jump into property management with zero education and experience, there is a high probability you will fail and you will give the profession a bad name at the same time.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

You don't want rentals on the street you live on for an easy understanding of how effects actual value.Look in predominantly tenant occupied areas where it's accepted as the standard & rent drives demand not agent listed value. 

You need to shop around and start a relationship with a lender.

Basically looking to forge a nice working relationship in this market with a reputable and reliable person in the industry.
