I'm currently getting started in wholesaling here in East Houston. I recently purchased 4000 absentee names and addresses from mellissa data and im not sure what route I'd like to go letters or post cards and postage options.

I read alot that letters hand written in red ink get a lot more attention and seem more personal. I also read about post cards being good also. To rotate them every couple months. 

As far as postage goes I see it can be pricey depending on the route you go so I'm not sure if I want to go with the usps and some of there options or a site like yellow letters.Com.

Also not sure If I should weed threw the list and look at properties before sending mailers or just send all 4000 at one time.. 

This site is always so informative there are so many people willing to help on this site.  I have made some great steps with wholesaling and will continue to learn and move forward taking every mistake as valuable lesson. Thank you ahead of time to anyone that chimes inn!!

I would mail four types of mail

When you mail divide your list into 4 groups of 1000 and rotate each mail piece each month.  

  • small text postcard 
  • Yellow letter
  • Professional letter
  • Zipletter 
This will do three things 
  1. It will keep the call volume consistent
  2. It will keep your budget consistent 
  3. It will create the largest response rate.
