The letter was handwritten, blue ink, live stamp and made to look personalized to the owner.My copy stated I am not a broker so the seller doesn't have to pay a broker fee, my target was someone who owned for 15+ years so they might have good equity and someone who could be a burned out landlord.My call to action was for the owner to call me to get a free valuation of their property.Since you stated you have had success with DM, my suggestion is don't overthink this to much.
