Help Marketing Letter for Vacant Houses

[Romane Tate]

hello i a new wholesaler and i recently found a couple vacant houses in my area and i found the owner of the properties can any one send me a marketing letter that they send to owners

[P.J. Hankins]

I'm nervous to share this, for fear of being scolded :) and also remember i'm a *NOOB* , but this is a sample that I've actually had positive response to....

I'm not sure how risky it is to actually put a dollar amount offer in the letter, but in each case that I used this I've had a response and the owner understood that my offer was tentative and not solid. I'm actually going to look at a property this weekend that is a lead from this

While were at it, I'd be open to any critique from anyone on this. Is it problematic to send something like this to a potential seller?

Home owner:

My name is P.J. Hankins. I am an individual who specializes in purchasing distressed and vacant homes and properties in Mucnie, IN.

A distressed or unwanted property can drain you financially! Even if you don’t owe the bank for it, it can still cost you tons of money in property taxes and maintenance costs. These costs can rob you of living expenses, especially if you are on a fixed income. If maintenance issues aren’t dealt with right away you can lose the home to weather, insects, rodents and other things. If taxes aren’t paid the house can actually be taken from you and given to the lowest bidder.

I am aware that you may owe back taxes on in Mucnie, and may need to sell your home so the bill can be paid and you can get rid of the burden of this house.

Today, I am prepared to offer you a tentative price of $X,XXX for . with a closing in 60 days.

Please keep in mind that this initial offer is a drive by offer, based only on the county tax records, a general estimate of the after repair value of the home and a very rough estimate of what it will take to renovate the home. As an investor I would need to gain access to the house to look at it, inspect it and to rule out any unseen issues that may need dealt with to come up with a more firm offer. In many cases the initial tentative offer can be negotiated higher if the property is in better shape than what can be seen from the outside.

Please don’t let the weather, rodents, or the county take your home. This is a serious offer, but you need to call me today!

Sincerely,
