small block

[Carla Harris]

Need advice.

I've found a small block of empty houses that, from my research, look like are owned by original owners or family members.  The entire block looks like it should be condemned.  What is the recommendation for the letter to send (some are absentee owners listed on tax rolls)?  Should I indicate that I want to buy the whole block or that I'm working with a team of investors?  Please advise.

thanks.
