๐ Direct Mail Case Study (33 units)
![](https://bpimg.biggerpockets.com/no_overlay/uploads/uploaded_images/1707572506-IMG_1584.jpeg?twic=v1/output=image/quality=55/contain=800x800)
I sent a letter to find this apartment complex.
The owner called me a few days after receiving.
We closed 3 months later.
Hereโs an overview of the deal ๐
// 16 year owner
// 100% classic units
// 33 units in Indianapolis
// Avg rent was $400 below market
The letter cost $1.
Purchased the complex for $1.36M.
Raised $500k from passive investors.
Spent $550k in improvements.
Now it's worth over $2.5M.
I think that letter was worth sending ๐ช
Have you ever thought about using direct mail marketing?

Quote from @Jonathan Bock:
Duration of campaigns, list building, investment $, follow up strategies ....
aka all your secret sauce ha
You can get a list from Costar, Reonomy, etc.
You can find sites that charge $.60 - $1.25/card.
There is no secret sauce ๐ Just takes consistency and a little luck.
