Do Galveston sellers ever sell?!

[Kameron Fontenot]

Hi!

I went "driving for dollars" today and I seemed to find a ton of houses in Galveston that I see potential in. Im just wondering if Im missing something, since other investors haven't scooped them up yet? I also see the potential because other house very close are being remodeled left and right.

Also, what do I do next to lock them in?

I took down the addresses of houses Id like to get under contract and I plan on mailing them a letter today letting them know I am interested in buying their home. Does this work? Are their other ways I can get the seller to sell me their house? And if the house is abandoned is anyone going to read my letter?

Thank you!
