I have a quick question for those of you who have ordered postcards from Yellow Letters. Which postcard do you find to be the most effective? I am getting ready to do a direct mail campaign to about 500 absentee owners. I'd like to get a general idea of which postcard works best before ordering. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Understanding something about the nature of the asset is critical, unless you're just house spotting for a hobby.

An REO or a Zombie house (vacant but lender has not foreclosed yet) is a time waster.

What you as would-be investor are attempting to do is hunt for equity to buy or control at a discount. Identifying the lender an approximate equity is essential.

Unchanged like finding a valuable, abandoned car with a large loan on it.

Btw, @Sean OToole my visit with you at your Truckee HQ resulted in getting $3K for my Porsche that I paid $110K cash for. The Donner Summit ate another victim.

I'm happy with my Housewife Lexus SUV (traded equity for reliability and peace of mind).

Rick, do you mind sharing your flow chart? If so, may I please have a copy of it? Thanks in advance!
