How to approach a property owner of two unlisted vacant commercial lots
I don’t know the owner of two undeveloped commercial lots. Thinking of sending letter to owners address on tax assessors website. Any advice?

If you go the offer route they probably have a professional duty to present it to the owner if they represent them.  You might also touch base with the relevant municipality to see if the owner has any plans for the property, permits in stream, etc.  You can probably get good information on development potential while you are at it to correctly price your offer.\n\nEdit: I'm assuming this is an acquisition effort.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dwhpiam", "text": "Call their ass up ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
