@Christian Carter - @Mike LaCava runs a heck of a meeting in Plymouth.  You should check it out.

@Ayman Elmasik on Agent Pro 24/7 you have the ability to define a purchase price.  I put 0-1 there.  In addition, I will select I only want Absentee Owners.  As for my website.  I've received 54 total leads, the majority of them were duds but a few were solid and gave us two of our best deals to date.  

I must admit, I was strong on the website game for a while, utilizing Google PPC and it worked well.  I stopped without any real logical reason (my mistake) which probably costed me some deals but now I'm back on promoting and paying.

Different markets have different competition for PPC and mine is still at a reasonable cost but is climbing.  There's a ton to learn in this aspect though and you can't lose a lot of money quick if you're not careful but if you have your campaigns structured well, you can get in at a low overall monthly cost with laser like inbound filtering.

Definitely worth the research.

@Ayman Elmasik, when I utilize list source I do 50% or greater but have had a bit better luck with negating that all together (since Agent Pro24/7 doesn't have that filter) and instead using Purchase Price filter of 0-1 for absentee owners.

@Chris Bounds - Where are these lists coming from? I see you have absentee lists but don't define specific criteria.  How detailed are you getting.  The more focused you are, the better the results.  Are you targeting entire counties or are you specifying by city or better yet, zip code? 

I.E. Targeting to Absentee +15 years is great, but what about if you added a sale price of 0-1 to hit on the ownership transfers and inheritance.  Are these all out of state? What price point are you hitting on?

I think it's vital that you are EXTREMELY specific with your DM criteria.  

Do you have a lead generating website? Throw your URL on there and apply Google Analytics to your website to see how many people are actually manually typing in your information.  What is the yellow letter message?

The point here is every single detail in your DM campaign should be well thought out, ask yourself why, why, why, why over and over again until you come to a logical conclusion. You will always get your best DM results by doing this.

Good luck.

case:

Land, house constructed 1800's, no zoning requirements, never held in common ownership.  Fast forward 2015.  Enough land to keep house and make a conforming developable property.

Question is once you split a property, do both lots HAVE to conform to existing requirements or does the land the house sit on more flexible based on the year it was established.

Can anyone offer insight? Any massachusetts friends :)

@John B.

 where is your target market? I currently market southshore area with a consistent monthly marketing campaign of over 1200 pieces (hopefully bumping to 2000 soon, just put a house on the market and closing on one this week).  We are starting to beef up and trying to take on any projects we can as opposed to letting them go for a wholesale fee, although, we have done that in the past dependent on current status.  

We are always trying to add to our list of people who are serious and want to buy just in case we do come across a property a bit further than our reach or something we just can't do at the time.

Feel free to PM me your info or reply here.

Thanks,

Kyle

@Dan Dwyer

 looks like i'm a bit south of your neck of the woods.  I will send you a PM with my information.  Relatively new into the investing field myself (started really even looking into this end of last year).  In that time, my partner and I have done 3 deals and closing our fourth end of this month.  We are pushing for more and more and would love to build more relationships in the area.

thanks K.. not hard at all lol thanks for insight

Sent a P&S for a solid property in MA significant discount. Seller agreed in principal had his attorney review the P&S (same on @Justin Silverio uses) and told him not to sign it.  2 objections the low initial deposit.. that's no big deal.  Second was concerned with others visiting property without being sold because he has no insurance on property.  Any suggestions from anyone here on a line/clause i should add to help ease his mind? Thanks in advance.
