I am a new investor, should I start with Probate?

[Jesse Hopcus]

Ok question for all of the experienced investores!! I am a new investor and I am very close to taking out a loan for about 15 K to get things started investing specifically for probate transactions. My plan is to put up a website, get an LLC, business cards, a list and spend the rest on mail for hopefully the next year and hopefully close at least one deal. I will also continue with networking. I have a source to purchase the properties or assign them, a lawyer I can work with and someone in title. Is this recommended in today's real world of investing. Do the letters work, is there a ton of competition out there, any suggestions ? Planning on marketing in Los Angeles county. Also Does anyone recommend emails to the executors-do they improve marketing, any advise would help, thanks!!
