Direct Mail Questions

[Abdul Rahman]

HI BP community, I am a new investor looking to flip houses and start my direct mail campaign. I plan on getting an absentee owners list from listsource.com  but had a few questions: 

1. When getting an absentee owner list from list source, does it give me the address of the house the owner owns or the address of the owners current address? 

2. I am having trouble on where to start mailing to. Should I start mailing to the small city that I live in and the surrounding small citites around me  or  should I just start in one of the bigger cities. I thought it might be a good idea  to get my first property near me first. 

3. Some tips on how to setup my postcard would be great. 

4. Any other tips you would give me to get started on my direct mail campaign. 

Please help, thank you.
