Good afternoon, and welcome to BP! Here's some food for thought:

Before you make your first investment, meet with a mortgage/financial professional. They'll ask you to share your short- AND long-term goals, and then they'll help you construct a plan that will do two things:

1. Achieve your short-term goals that will produce proceeds and resources that will,

2. Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goals

Many investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast - either of these behaviors will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals. Since you're not paying a mortgage pro for consulting, it's in their best interest to give you a solid plan so you're successful.

I wish you the very best!

Lundy:

Good afternoon, and welcome to BP!  

Eric Harris makes very valid points, and his success shows it.  I am NOT an expert of any kind on direct marketing, but I've been involved in enough campaigns to offer this piece of advice: don't rely solely on the post cards.  You should change up your delivery methods - example: post card one month, email the next.  The reason for this is it increases your touches (we all know it takes multiple touches before a customer "acknowledges" your presence in most cases) without increasing your costs.  If you're hesitant to include email as part of your delivery method because they might unsubscribe, that's actually a good thing: if they unsubscribe, that's their way of telling you they were chucking your post card in the bin the moment they received it.  Take them off your list and whittle down your costs.  

I wish you the very best!
