Strategic Direct-Mail Campaigns, and where the HECK to start!

[Sean Robbins]

Hey Community!

I am currently on the search for my first fix & flip opportunity. As of now I am sourcing via wholesalers, MLS, and Non-MLS marketplaces. Long story, short... One of my mission critical priorities is to be fully self-sufficient in my sourcing efforts. Direct mail is where I would like to start, but I don't have the first clue as to what search parameters I should be focused on in order to build a list. I visited listsource.com and there are an overwhelming amount of options. HALP!

P.s. All answers are welcome... and please let me know if I need to expound on anything in order to get a more direct answer!

P.s.s I tried to search for a previous thread about this topic but was not very successful. Forgive me if this is a repeat!

This is just advice I'd give a friend if they were looking for your first flip I wouldn't do direct mail for your first deal. I would meet your top local wholesalers and surf MLS. I do 10-15 flips a year ALL from wholesalers and MLS.

Direct mail will be a big expense, while most big wholesalers and flippers can make way better margins going straight to seller I wouldn't recommend it for your first deal. Get a flip or two under your belt then expand to go straight to the source. 

Hope this helps, best of luck!
