Hand written or mass mail?

[Chris McDaniel]

Ok, I dont have a lot of experiance with direct mail at all. But, I am about to finish another rehab so I decided to look up the properties on the same street as one of my good performing rentals. I found about 15 absentee owners on the one street alone. I typed out letters on my computer and let them know I owned another house on the street. I hand signed the letter and addressed it on the envelope with a pen. I got one  solid lead on one the house and if all goes we we will close next week. The guy said that he had gotten a bunch of those yellow and pink letters but mine was the only one that looked like a real person.

I was wondering what every one elses experiance is with hand written letters vs. mass mailers? I'm sure the topic has been discussed over and over on here but I was just curious what everyones experiance is with this, 1 home purchase for the price of 15 first class stamps and an hour of my time seems like a pretty darn good deal to me! Thanks!
