Landed my first couple deals from returned yellow letters!!

I landed my first couple of deals from skip tracing the returned letters from my mail campaigns. I used first class postage and received a good bit back, so my inner marketer spoke to me and said "track down these owners because nobody else is likely targeting them." 

Once gathering a large quantity of these returned letters I set my plan in motion.I wanted to skip trace my lists in large quantities so I could better my chances of landing a deal. I cold called and resent mail to the correct addresses of these individuals and was able to land two deals with about 12k net profit on both transactions in the same month, not bad for a newbie!! This success led me to skip tracing my entire direct mail list and marketing on multiple channels. I haven't looked back since and have been apart of over 50 real estate transactions in my short 3 years of marketing and investing! Cheers to all, PM me any similar success stories.
