Paid Search vs Direct Mail for Wholesaling Leads

[Kyle Sailor]

Hello, I have a question regarding my marketing budget. I am looking to find some deals and get my feet wet at the start of next year, but only starting out with 1-2 wholesale deals a month. I'm not as concerned with how much I will profit off these first couple of deals but rather looking to get some experience. I am looking to invest in direct mail or PPC marketing. Can anyone offer insight into the potential benefits/differences in these two strategies and how effective they are? If I did decide to invest in PPC (which I am vaguely familiar with because I used to sell it) am I able to outsource the campaign via a V.A.? I've read/listened to a lot of info on direct mail so anyone with experience generating leads with PPC for wholesaling would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers!
