I want the house next door to personal res, best way to get it?
The house next door to my personal home is investor owned, rented and neglected (currently has 2 tarps on the roof from tree coming through). My home sits on an L shaped lot, with the bottom of the L being the rear of that property. I want it bad, but since I have a personal interest, I'm hesitant to contact. I want the right balance of letting them know I'm here, but not annoying and don't want them to expect a premium b/c of my proximity and desire.
I would love ideas on what you think is the best strategy to try to get it under contract. I have never met the owner, renter does not have a good relationship due to landlord neglect/disinterest. fwiw - Landlord had a stroke about a year ago and has family in the area (son stopped by after Irma damage).
consistent yellow letters?
phone call?
knock on their personal residence front door?
thoughts?
tia!
