Pro's vs Con's: Hand Writing Direct Mail (Wholesaling)

[Daniel Fine]

Looking to hear if anyone has attempted hand writing direct mail when first starting out wholesaling? If so, did anyone see positive or negative results?

I understand the process takes a bit longer and is not as scalable, but is there a potential benefit regarding authenticity to the owner/reader? I am targeting a specific market within wholesaling. 

I would like to hear any thoughts if this template I created sounds sufficient for the time being,
