Calling Wholesaler/Flipper with a Property

[Brett B.]

Hello All,

I received a postcard today from a “we buy homes for cash” company. Has anyone ever followed up with one of these postcards with a potential property?

Every day driving home from work I pass a small house that needs work with a very plain FSBO sign stuck on their front lawn that's been there for months now, nothing posted on Zillow.

Is there a strategy I can use to put these two people in contact? Would I call the seller first and see what he is looking for? Do I have to get this under contract first? Wholesaling was never my goal, but is it possible a finders fee could be made?

Thanks!
