Best way to contact vacant land owners?

[Michael Plante]

This question is for people who have actually done this themselves or have relevant experience 

I’ve had good luck developing some older lots in a neighborhood in Central FL 

Found one lot I bought from Facebook Market place, another via Zillow and another by word of mouth from a neighbor 

I have looked up the owners of the few other lots.  I have names and addresses.  One I found a phone number via Google search  

What way have you found best to try and contact the owner and in what capacity 

—-  Via formal letter, with letter head, company name etc?

—-  Hand written or computer printed friendly neighbor type of letter?

Do you include the price you can offer something like $xx,000 we pay all closing costs and can close in 7 days at your attorney’s office if you like 

Any real world experiences are much appreciated
