Direct mail waste of time if campaign budget isn't large?

[Tevin Russell]

Hello, new investor still trying to figure things out.

One goal I had with my efforts was to take money from my first couple deals and use some of that to put it into a direct mail campaign to have a steadier flow of leads but I was recently told by another investor that unless you have big money like the more established "big shots" in town your efforts will be a waste because I won't be able to compete.

I get where he's coming from and I always here most people having success with wholesaling are direct mailing. When he brought this point up I realized that I never thought about this dynamic of low budget person competing against someone with deeper pockets.

Fellow investors, what are your thoughts?
