Direct Mail Marketing Questions

[Hannah Bailey]

Hi, I'm just starting out with driving for dollars using deal machine. I am about to send out my first campaign and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about the type of mailer to use. I was planning on doing a mailing with the photo of the property included but I'm wondering if that will garner more negative attention than positive. Do you all find these effective... or just invasive for the property owner? Do you recommend using letters? Interested to know what works best for you all! If you do use mailers with a property photo, do you have any rules you make for those photos? For example, I've wondered if I should avoid using photos where there's multiple cars parked in front of the house. Thanks for your feedback!

@Hannah Bailey Congrats on taking the dive into REI. I'm not sure if you plan to wholesale, flip, BRRRR, or house hack but some people come into REI with the wrong mindset. I don't know how many deals or doors you own but finding the first one shouldn't be that complex.

Have you talked to your neighbors and friends? Have you attended a local meet up? Are wholesalers sending you deals? These are tips to find a deal that doesn't require mailing 1000s of letters (and spending money).
