Appropriate to call seller?
I've been researching potential properties to turn into my first rental property. In so doing, I think I've located a SFH that an out of state investor purchased and started to rehab but maybe ran out of money before it was complete.
My question is, in my research I think I found the sellers number. Is it appropriate to call the seller and try to get information/details/pain points directly from him, or go through the standard channel of the listing realtor?
Thanks for your help!
