How To Approach Owner – 10 SFH’s Owned Free & Clear – Same Owner
Found out that a high school friend inherited several properties and there are no liens against any of them. Today’s combine MV = 670k +. All of the properties are in “average” condition and I’m confident with a little tlc the MV would increase dramatically.
I haven’t talked with her in several years so I’m not sure what the situation is. So I’m sending her a letter with the normal “how have you been” stuff and also letting her know that as an Investor I would be interested in talking with her if she in was ever interested in off-loading some if not all of them. I would like to look at some L/O deals with her carrying back a portion of what they’re worth today.
Struggling with how to approach her if she’s just collecting rent checks today and not really keeping the properties maintained very well.
Any input / ideas / suggestions / etc… would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ed
You are just talking about an initial contact. Stick with the Hi, how you been kind of stuff, and mention that you are a real estate investor. If she's interested she'll approach you and then you can explore the various methods available to reach a mutually beneficial outcome.
BTW, Where did you graduate from and what year?
