@Dani Beit-OrSo do you still have organization structure without a formal business entity?

If I find the property owner of a vacant property and then I am able to find them on Facebook or Twitter or another social media site, is it appropriate to send them a private message inquiring about buying the property?

What have been your experiences advertising on Facebook, Instagram, etc for finding deals? Does the "We Buy Houses" advertisement work within these markets? 
If so, what is your best advise? I am in the Hampton Roads...
