Biking the neighborhood

[Jeff Caravalho]

I ride my bike around my neighborhood here in Sacramento & I often see the house with the long grass, beat up car, dry rot, etc. and think "that looks like a flipper".  But I have no clue how to deal with distressed looking properties.  How do you guys market to a distressed property in your neighborhood?  Knock on the door, mail them a letter?  Do you do any research on it first to see what's going on with it?  Thanks for time.
