You have a good heart.  

Put your heart into it, and always think of your clients.

I wonder if they are just sending the letter as half hearted effort to see if they can collect, OR  will they pursue this aggressively? 

I personally have either rented houses and apartments in low income areas preferably to Sec.8 voucher tenants or owner financed them with Contracts for Deeds (the tenant/buyer has more interest at heart, since he is more of an homeowner than a tenant.)Yes, you could put a blind ad like what you stated to see what kind of feedback you get first.Good luck!

I refused to work with anyone, and I’m a buy and hold guy at heart, so I would look at every property through that narrow lens.

It's unfortunate that some people see only bleeding hearts when there's a much more valuable lesson to be learned.Tom Goans did something much more profound that relieving someone of 2 months of debt each year (a great thing on its own!).

What type of investing does your heart desire.  

To become a top producer you cannot try it out and be half hearted to the trade, you must be all in and committed to make this your life time trade and strive to become the best.

Hi @Joe StaffordInvesting in courthouse steps auctions is definitely not for the faint of heart.  

Make sure they have your best interests at heart and not just their.
