What mailing campaign would you start as a beginner?

[Anthoy James]

I've got a budget of about $2,000 for marketing and I would like to start a mailing campaign. I'm wondering what your take is on what would be the "best" mailing for a beginner who has never mailed before.

I have a separate line for phone calls, bought envelopes and paper to write the letters myself. I may use a service later on, but for now I think it's a good experience to do it myself.

I'm leaning towards starting to send letters to people who have missed 3 months of payments and trying get a possible short sale, etc...

I know there are a lot of other prospects such as FSBO/Expired listings/Absentee Owners/Probate that a lot of other people go after.

If you guys were just starting out in your advertising, what do you think is the best route to take?
