Help! My Marketing is becoming unresponsive in this Hot Market.

Hi Folks.

I have been marketing here in Phoenix for the last 2 months (700 yellow letters to Absen-owner list both months) and I have experienced response rates of 1% maybe 2%.

I've been away from wholesaling since May 2012 and then I was receiving 5-20% response rates on my mailings. Things have drastically changed here in Phoenix.

I now realize rehabbers and buyers are marketing to the same list of motivated sellers that I am. My question is how can I compete with this insurgence of people marketing to motivated sellers like me. I am spending 1k per month on Direct mail only to get 5 or 6 calls. Could somebody please share their insight.

Sorry I have to add this

Take advantage of the tools laying in front of you. Heck the Thursday calls are great. Find someone to role play with. There are so many of us on BP who will spend the personal time to help its crazy. We are only a call away.
