I am considering doing a mailing. Called a company yesterday...3200 names, absentee owners/landlords of SFH and multi's, in 3 different zip codes I selected. $980. By the time I buy stamps ($1400), envelopes, paper for my flyers, etc..I looking at $2500 maybe more by the time it all said and done. Not to include many, many hours of "licking envelopes". It's a BIT more than I wanted to spend.

I guess my question is does anyone know of a company that will do this cheaper? Or is there a better way to curtail all this leg-work? I far from lazy, but time is money.

You don't have to pay for a list. Find a good local title insurance company (if they have them in your state), some of them give you access to lists for free if you're a customer. In my case I went to the title company and said "I want to be a customer, can you give me access to your comp service and lists?" They said yes.

Consider sending postcards instead of envelopes. Heck of a lot easier and cheaper. I get mine for $0.37 each including printing, postage, and mailing service.
