Help on how to do Direct mail correctly

[Brandon Daughtrey]

I have bought a real estate course, opened up an S-Corp, joined BP, read tons of the info on here and saved up about 2K. I know a lot of ways to market to whole sale but I don’t know how to do it. I have a friend who has a buyers list already but he wants a commission of 25% of the gross. So all I have to do is find a house, I know direct mail is great, I hear that over and over but I have some questions. How much do you usually pay for a list? I was thinking about mailing Absentee owners and bankruptcy. I’ve seen lists that cost $6,000 and some that cost $70. And once you have the list how do you mail them? I’m sure you don’t type out each and every letter, maybe you copy and paste most of it and fill out the rest. Any help would be great!
