Send Yellow Letter To Attorney's Workplace??

Question

Hi everyone. I'm just looking for some opinions here. Found lots more vacant houses this weekend driving for dollars and 3 different vacant homes belong to 3 different attorneys who are now obviously living elsewhere.

I've searched long and hard this week for their current home addresses and exasperated my options there it seems. Their 3 office addresses are easily "findable"--- Should I send my "yellow letter" to their offices or is that in poor taste??

Thank you for the response! No missed opportunities over here. I'm sending and taking the chance. At worst maybe they'll call and yell at me. I know for sure they're vacant so, I spent time finding the lead, I should use it.

@Shannon K., As someone who fits that bill, I'd probably be annoyed to get it at work (at least initially). But you have to do what you need to do to advance the ball, sometimes regardless of what the outcome COULD be. Cons - you don't know who opens their mail, and they may be desperately trying to keep a separation between church and state (work and non-work life). They could be so annoyed they choose not to deal with you ever. Pros - they may appreciate your resourcefulness and be intrigued by your willingness to think outside the box, or they MAY not realize how hard to find they are with respect to those properties, or you just might catch them at right time - they've been thinking about unloading the properties for a while and you've given them a viable exit no matter how annoyed they are about where you reached out to them

I'm not aware of any rules/laws prohibiting you from doing so, maybe somebody else can speak to that if there are some restrictions you should be aware of. But If you DON't send to them wherever you are able to find them, what's the alternative, do nothing? I think you've just got to make a gut call and be comfortable with the prospect of losing with either option - either because you went all in, sent it to their only findable addresses and risked pissing somebody off, or because you chose to avoid that possibility and missed an opportunity. Most successful people I know didn't become that without taking chances along the way. Good luck!
