I concur, Yellowletters is bar far the best choice out there.

Welcome to BP! It is a great site to listen and learn from many knowledgeable real estate professionals. My advice would be to setup your keyword alerts so you know when people are talking about subjects you are interested in!

Depends on the condition and the location. I can tell you that in Portland there is a plethora of homes built around this time and I would love to get my hands on all of them.

PropertyRadar is a gold mine but unfortunately for some they are limited to a handful of states. County website is great also!

Number 1 bar none, but I would have someone clean it up so that it doesn't have that distressed look. I have seen dozens of variations of #2 and you don't want your logo to look like anyone else. #3 just looks like bad clip art.

I personally like the look of the old units, not necessarily the color but I see the overall appeal. That being said I would probably replace it as well with something a little more modern. Probably stainless as it is more of a neutral color with whatever color and tile choices are in the rest of the kitchen.

I agree with Dev, the quality of your message is a big part of the equation. You also want to make sure there is equity, at the minimum we look for %50 or more equity. You will however receive far more No's than Yes phone calls in response to your mailers. Stick with it and you will get some deals.
