Hi BP community, I am a new investor looking to start my direct mail campaign for fix and flips. I already got my targeted list from list source and now need to make sure my postcard is ready as well. I had a some questions:

1. What is a good size for the post card and should it be in color? 

2. Should I create a simple website and include it in my postcard? Some say it makes you look much more profession and others say it's not really need. 

3. Should it be double sided? I was thinking about advertising my business on one side such as "cash for homes" and on the other side offer some sort of money for people who know someone else who is wanting to sell and get paid if I close on the property they referred me to. 

4. Anything suggestions on how I can make my postcard stand out and not just another junk mail? 

I would love to learn from the BP community. Please help. Thanks. 

 I will be getting postcards actually and will be getting them from my local printing company. 

 Thank you guys for the response. Can you give me any advice on using listsource.com and what main filters I should be using when making my list for fix and flip properties? I am still very new to this, looking forward to hearing from you.

HI BP community, I am a new investor looking to flip houses and start my direct mail campaign. I plan on getting an absentee owners list from listsource.com  but had a few questions: 

1. When getting an absentee owner list from list source, does it give me the address of the house the owner owns or the address of the owners current address? 

2. I am having trouble on where to start mailing to. Should I start mailing to the small city that I live in and the surrounding small citites around me  or  should I just start in one of the bigger cities. I thought it might be a good idea  to get my first property near me first. 

3. Some tips on how to setup my postcard would be great. 

4. Any other tips you would give me to get started on my direct mail campaign. 

Please help, thank you. 

Hi BP community, I am a new to real estate. I would like to hear from experienced investors, and would be great if you guys can share your main source on finding deals. Thanks. 

Hi, I am a new real estate investor looking to connect with wholesalers and other investors near the Sacramento ca area in order to find fixer uppers and to learn from other investors as well. I have finances in order to purchase my first property. Please send me a message if you would like to connect with me. Thank you very much. 

 Thanks for the advise. Quick question, how do I find the absentee owners list? 

I am looking to get started in direct mailing in my area. Just had a few questions. 

1. What do I type on the postcard or letter? An example would be greatly appreciated. 

2. Should I start with typing out letters and sending them out or post cards using a mailing company?

3. Who do I send it to exactly? I am looking for houses to flip.

Any help would be great.
