Finding my own properties to rehab

[Bryan H.]

I'm thinking about starting my own marketing campaign to find properties to rehab. The MLS is too competitive and local wholesalers I know don't have what I am looking for in a property.

If I wanted to start my own direct marketing and wanted to find 3-4 properties a year to rehab, how should I start? I have identified about 800 properties that fit my criteria, now I need to connect with the owners.

Keep in mind, I don't want this to be my job, I have a full time job already. I just need to find properties to rehab on the side. How many mailers would you send if you only wanted to close on 3-4 properties a year?
