@John Matthew Johnston did you give them proper notice letting them know you were going to enter the property

Hello, @Ting Lei. You’ve taken a great first step in real estate investment. I wish you all the best. You are not alone in your real estate ambition.

@Carter Anderson You can direct them to call you. I haven't been doing this long but when I send out letters I get a lot of calls back most of them are super mad at me like you I prefer the phone conversation so I turn the calls around most of the time. It's the only loophole I found. 

Hi @Carter Anderson, I avoid calling people and invite them to call me with bulk mailers. 

You can get data nowadays without going to the county. I use TitlePro247 all the time to look up information on properties they usually have a different address for the owners listed as well. 

There is no surefire way to buy a property. The owners always have a chance to back out or come back later.  

I use Realtor.com and look at quick comps. Then I use Smart Pricing Services to get detials. 

I hope that helps!

@Nicki Hard, I would send offer letters to the owners of the abounded properties. 

Hey there, George. Great to see you take that first and maybe most difficult step in real estate investment: reaching out on BiggerPockets. Congratulations and I wish you a ton of success.

@Bastian Kneuse, when I was in apartments there were no troubles finding someone willing to commit to a long term lease. Shorter terms were more difficult to find since most people do not want to move out after a few months.  You can always create a 14-month lease that will take you into spring.  In my few years of experience renewals in the winter were always at its highest. 

I hope that helps
