Buying a house that is not on the MKT

Start with mysterious phone calls saying that you’re going to kill them. Then begin vandalizing their property and leaving satanic symbols. After a couple of months, you can get a great deal on the house.

Put a letter in the mailbox stating your intentions. If they are interested they will call you, 99% chance they aren’t interested but worth a shot.

this ^^^^^^

i think in most cases like this is owned by family with a group who cant decide what to do with the property or how much its worth.

let them know you are interested, and they may be willing to talk, its worth a shot

if you arent sure who owns it, check the tax assessors rolls listed online and see who pays the property taxes on it

Friend of mine that I work with had someone knock on their door asking if they would sell their house.

Only problem is the guy wanting to buy the house wanted a "good" price for the house.

My buy offered the house for a price that he would be willing to sell it for.

Needless to say, the house didn't sell.

I get about 3 letters a week from someone wanting to buy my house.

One of my new neighbors bought his house here, and it wasn’t on the market. Before he moved in, he mailed letters to everyone in my neighborhood (30 houses), wanting to buy a house in my neighborhood, and was offering cash.

Just so happened at the same time, a chick up front got engaged and was about to move in with her new fiancé, but didn’t have her house on the market, or any for sale signs up yet. And she was the one to sell to him.

A realtor called us and my husband did think it was a scam at first. But we were already planning to sell, so we listened and got the deal done. It worked out great for everyone. You won’t know unless you try.

My dad used to drop handwritten notes on houses that he wanted to buy. Ended up buying 6-7 homes that way. I was pretty impressed.

And seeing as my dad was cheap AF, I was surprised it worked

Unless you have a check with every penny I wanted, I would not entertain your question at my door. If I were you, I'd drop a letter in the mailbox. But that's just me.
