sweetsunflowergirl asked:


I am trying to buy my first home and am looking at pre-foreclosure properties as an option. I have located a pre-foreclosure approximately one mile from where I currently rent a home. I have begun researching how to go about buying a pre-foreclosure, and I know that my first step is to contact the homeowner by mail. I already have his name. Because I live so close to the property and frequently drive by, I am aware that no one has lived there for some time, and I am concerned that any letter I write would not reach him.

How can I make sure that he receives my letter?

Also, I am not an investor, and I am not represented by anyone…I am just a young mother looking to acquire my first home at a reasonable price. Does this lessen my chances of being able to make a proposal that would benefit both myself and the homeowner?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Leisha

   O.K. If this is the home you want and it is in disrepair, and the owners are not easily available than do some home work. The post office for a dollar will give you a forwarding address. Ask old neighbors, and or family (if it’s a unique name, blind call others with the same name asking for the persons you’re looking for).
   THERE is a good change the owners want to talk to you more than you want to talk to them. Because they would love for someone to relieve them of the property, and save their credit.
