Contacting the owner

[Tony Velez]

I still have yet to find a property that makes sense. I'm working on it thought. Let me ask a question. I'm reading a book and it strongly suggest to contact the owner of the property as the very first step. Is that normal practice? 

Thank you

If the property is listed with an agent, you should contact the listing agent. If it is not on the market, contact the seller. The worst they can say is no.
