contacting the property owner
Hi BP members,
Owner Contact... I have been told that it is best to make 3 different ways of contact on every property I am interested in. call the owner, mail a post card or yellow card to the owner and knock on the door of the owner. all to get in the property to make an offer.
is this typical way to make offers?
Direct Mail.. I have heard that post cards do not work but yellow cards do work.
is one better than the other?
what type of message do I write on my yellow card/post card?
thanks in advance for your responses. Cody

"I have heard that post cards do not work but yellow cards do work."
Sounds like you've been listening to someone who sells yellow letters.
