@Lynnette E. ... Yeah, I thought about that. I was thinking in my head that if a person owns a property & doesn’t live there... most likely it’s because they purposely don’t want to live there for whatever personal reason. If they didn’t want the property that they don’t live on, they would’ve been sold it already. I also know that people buy properties & rent them out to other people.
BUT... I do live in Houston, TX & I know that many people have became absentee owners here because their homes got flooded out in 2017 & 2019. My grandma was in that situation. She moved out of her home with her sister for a whole entire year, fortunately she had flood insurance & got her house completely remodeled so she didn't have to sell it. But many people in the same situation that live around her, not so lucky.
Also, about the marketing... I rather just do bandit signs instead of direct mail & postcards because even me & my own family....when we get those letters in the mail, we throw them in the trash too. Lol
