@Peter Vekselman Curious to hear more of your feedback in regards to mail. Given that you were spending six figures previously that's a pretty rapid change. What lead you the decision of pulling the plug on direct mail?

Hey @Anthony Stephenson, I figured I'd reach out and ask you how things are going with SEO Meets REI after the first few months. Are you still using their services? We've got a kick-off call with them tomorrow and possibly getting started with them.

Hi Tim,

These are exactly the type of situations we deal with on a monthly basis. Good news is that it's not impossible. Not so great news is that it will require quite a bit of digging in this case. Feel free to message me and I'm happy to help... Like I said, this is our bread & butter.

Hello BiggerPockets community!

I own a real estate investment and wholesaling group based in Florida. We specialize in probate cases where the property owner has passed away, and no one is taking care of the property. Oftentimes, the rightful heirs are unaware that the property is now theirs, they don't have the means to take care of it, or the heirs have also passed away.

Our team has worked with many cases where we were able to skiptrace and help the heirs probate the property, then purchase it from them to avoid losing it to delinquent taxes or bank foreclosure. However, we have quite a few properties on our radar that will require deeper due diligence and resources.

We are currently seeking a licensed private investigator and/or genealogist who can help us find and get in contact with missing heirs. We want to help families avoid losing their inherited properties to delinquent taxes or foreclosure.

If you are a private investigator or genealogist who has experience working with these types of cases and can help us locate missing heirs, I'd love to have a conversation. I'm interested in exploring the possibility of working together.

Hi Minna,

Did you end up finding a PI for this case? I have similar situation that I'm hoping to find a PI for.

Interesting thought. I’m also a local, but haven’t seen anything like that before. I’d be very open to hear more about your ideas!

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the insight. Ive started to focus almost all of my marketing into the Jacksonville market because that’s where I have been landing my deals. I have about a $1,000-$1,500/m budget for marketing. I have one cold caller at the moment and she is dialing about 1,000 a day. I have a really good follow up system set up with my crm that involves, call backs, follow up texts depending on the motivation level at the time the lead is created. I keep all my lists organized with trello so I know how many times they have been called through, I make sure each list is called 6 times and then the list is sent out for an sms blast to all the remaining leads that have not been contacted. The lists are called about 2 times a week so they typically last about 3 weeks to a month before I send them to the sms blast.

For example, so far this month we have

Dialed: 5,284 numbers

Contacted: 167 leads (3.1% contact rate)

No answers: 3,386

The rest are bad numbers, fax, disconnected, busy, answer machines.

Out of the 167 contacts

Want To Sell: 12

Dead Lead: 138

Sell in future: 4

Under contract: 2

Out of the 12 leads that want to sell I’m currently working 6 of them that are potential deals 2 that I’m trying to get back on the phone and 4 that were just “give me an offer, but not really serious”

I just feel as I should have more than a 3.1% contact rate on that many calls.

I'm a bit late to the party, but find your call statistics extremely helpful to compare with our 2 VA's. On a side note... when you say "contacted: 167 leads..." are you referring to the total number of individuals including wrong number, relative's number, and correct numbers that your VA spoke to, or only the individuals who are specifically the owners of the property?

If I were you I'd keep saving. $5k barely covers closing costs.
