Absentee Owners Lists Getting POUNDED

Hi guys, I've spent the last year or more learning all I can about direct mail and leads list and it seems EVERY coach and every industry person I've researched preaches Absentee Owners list. I have the resources to send out about 1000 yellow letters or 2000 postcards but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on the absentee landlords/owners lists because they are being pounded.

I spoke with an out of state owner who happens to also be a RE Investor and he said he gets  4 or 5 letters a week!

I know a lot depends on the timing of YOUR letter but have you guys that regularly mail to absentees noticed a decline in the effectiveness of your AO lists?

I'm ready to mail but feeling a little (or a lot) hesitant about absentee leads.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

J. Scott Lee
