After 2 Mailings - My Journey Part 2

[Jonathan Abbott]

Hello BP Community!

I hope all are staying well, and sane during these trying times.

I come here today with part two of my real estate investing adventure. Last post, I touched on my process, my goals, and my current state. After 2 months of mailings I am here today with, get ready, no deal? 

I decided to continue to push my current direct mail strategy (listed in another one of my forum posts). I have been using postcards and mailing to a very specific list using a list source list. After my first mailings I received a 1% response rate. For this mailing I decided to triple the amount of mailing, now getting into the thousands, and my response rate declined... around 1%... Yes, I did not get a single call from this mailing. 

I come to you all today with any tips, motivation, and advice that you can give. Should I continue this route, being that it is so expensive? Or should I seek other opportunities. 

I hope these posts will one day help, influence, and inspire others to begin this journey. But first, I need to prove that it works! 

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Best,
