Proven methods to engage off-market multi-family property owners.

[Isaac Isaia]

I am an investor who owns single-family and multi-family properties in Springfield, MO. I want to reach out to small multi-family property owners to see if they would sell their property. I know with MF properties there are often multiple owners or entities that own the properties. Any recommendations on how to best communicate with MF property owners in a way to open the line of communication to see if we can come to a deal on their property?

Direct mail still works great for small multifamily owners, especially if it's a personal letter that doesn't look like mass marketing. You can also try skip tracing and giving them a call or even texting. If it's owned by an LLC, look up the mailing address and managing member through the Secretary of State site. Persistence and a genuine tone usually go further than a flashy pitch.
