Should I Reach Out via Email to an Absentee Owner?

Should I Reach Out via Email to an Absentee Owner?

Hello All,

Say I was able to find the email address of an absentee owner, would it be advisable to reach out to them directly via email?

On the plus side, I know that I'll reach them almost instantly. The perception of desperation, failure to acknowledge personal space etc. could be some of the negatives of such an approach. 

Nonetheless, I am curious to know if anyone has done this before, and what were the ramifications of such an act? Also, am I violating any law from a legal perspective?

    Talk to your lawyer about the laws in the area. I think worst case, Owner ignores your message thinking it may be spam. Otherwise if it is the only way to get a hold of them, you may want to do it if not to see if you can help. I haven't gotten as far as I like with my investing, good luck.

    Separate yourself from the crowd and send a handwritten letter with first class postage. It's just too easy to press the Delete key.
