Which is the better way to finding deals
What has worked better for you guys? Driving for dollars and cold calling or a mail direct campaign? Also if you have experimented with mail direct what layout and letter presentation is more effective?

@Charles Bailey If you want to find the deals directly, you'll need to go out and prospect the sellers and see who would entertain an offer. I do this through cold calling, texting, emailing and whatever it takes to find a deal. If you do this on a consistent basis you will find deals as it is just a numbers game in the end.
