-son(for properties convenient to view). Is it just a matter of workload, how many you can afford to take the time wait to see first? Do you first investigate the underlying motivation? Do you always throw out a ballpark range offer to test their reaction? What do you normally do?

@Benjamin CowlesA good starting point is to see if the know and then ask them what they want. This is the most efficient way and can save their time as well as yours. If it looks good on the surface you might want to then see it in person. This will all depend on what you are buying. We make offers on parks all the time without seeing them as we are buying income and a Google view can tell you roughly what it might look like. A SFH maybe not so much

If you aren't putting your offer down on paper, you aren't making a serious offer.
So anytime you make an offer you email or fax it? Do you use a template or scribbled it out or...
And if you're on the phone with them you tell them 'I have an offer I'd like to make you. May I have your email or fax number?'? Or do you visit ALL properties you intend to make an offer on?
