Direct mail tips n tricks

[Taylor Williams]

Hey BP. I'm exploring options to make some potential off-market deals, and think there's an opportunity for direct mail inquiries. I just wrapped up my first fix n flip property and received some praise from neighbors which made me think about using that momentum for other opportunities in the neighborhood. Based on word of mouth it sounds like there are a decent amount of rentals in the vicinity as well as long-time homeowners--both of which could be good leads. Since this is my first time going about this, I was hoping others might have some good tips or tricks to identify off market properties? So far I've been on the county tax assessor website identifying owners whose mailing address is different than the street address of the home I'm looking at, as well as, identifying properties whose owners have been there for 20+ years. Is there a right way to go about this? Or perhaps a method that has proven the most successful?
