Driving for dollars, Long Island edition

[Frank Artusa]

Greetings, I spent a few hours this morning driving for dollars taking the less direct approach and leaving notes of interest in mail boxes. I plan to follow up intermittently (monthly?) with the homes I have already identified. I've never done this before, but my father-in-law swares by this method, though he operated out of the bay area. I'm on Long Island and was curious to know if this has worked for anyone in identifying lucrative deals. If not, what has worked for you? Thanks.
