First Direct Mail Letter
Hey everyone!
I'm looking to try direct mail and I was curious if I could get some honest criticism on the content of my letters. When I have listened to the podcast and looked around on the forum it seemed like most letters were pretty simple, but I just wanted to make sure my letters looked reasonable to anyone with a little more experience.
edit: The list is going to absentee owners with over 50% equity
Thank you!

The better question is this the right list to mail to?
65% of your success is the list, not the letter.
I totally disagree with Jonathan about saying you will not lowball.
You will, and then you look stupid.
Unless you are a realtor and can offer listing solutions, I would say you will NOT pay full retail so you don't get all the calls of worthless leads that want full retail.
The only reason to do this is if you are a rookie and want practice talking to people.
Easier and cheaper practice is to go to craigslist or facebook marketplace and call landlords that are renting and ask them to buy.
Your letter is fine, if you find a motivated seller, they will call. It is not the best but who cares, take action.
