Hi, @Jo-Ann Lapin, 

What necessarily would you be cautious about? Buying the home? Using a personal contract?

Best,

Thank you Nicholas for your help, 

"You must disclose that you are a licensed Realtor"

How would I officially disclose that I am a realtor?

Hello, 

I am an agent in California. 

I would like to buy a house as an investor from a seller, without ANY agents involved. 

I have personal contracts, but I would rather use the CAR Forms to be more safe. 

As an agent/investor, what would you say are the pros/cons of using a standard CAR rpa?

I don't understand the need for a personal contract when you can be much more protected. 

Also, if I go the official route of using standard CAR rpa, what parts of the document would I take out (i.e. one of the last pages that has the agent signatures - since there aren't any), and what other documents would you INCLUDE, so that the seller knows you are an agent, but not acting as one. 

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your help, @Adrien C.

Hello, 

I just got done sending out about 600 yellow letters, with about a 1% response rate, yet failed to close on any. I spent about 70 cents/letter for hand written letters done by someone else. 

I am still hopeful for my 6 month campaign. 

I want to try sending small 4x6 postcards now. I obviously want to send out personalized postcards with variable data on each (different names and addresses). 

I tried vistaprint, but it doesn't seem to have variable data. It just allows you to put YOUR OWN personalized information. If I'm wrong, can someone point me in the right direction?

For 600 small postcards, click2mail offers it for 53 cents. 

Yellowletters offers it for 65 cents. 

I've heard of people getting it out of the door with everything (print and stamp) for under 40 cents. 

As you can imagine, if I am able to get my yellow letters out for 70 cents, I don't have an incentive to try cheaper postcards, when they are not much cheaper. 

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on where to buy cheaper postcards? I want to ask local stores, but I feel like they don't do personalized postcards for mail merge. 

Thank you in advance! 

@Adrien C.

Thanks for the response guys. However, I live in Los Angeles, and the mailing address is not given on the county website. Any other way I can get their mailing address or phone number without visiting the county? And normally, how many times will you mail to them before you give up? Thanks. 

Hello all, 

Quick question. When you drive for dollars, and get a bunch of them on your list, and are ready to mail to them, call them, etc...how do you go about it?

Do you just go to the county, and get the mailing address and start mailing to them? What if they have no equity, and you are just wasting your time. 

I guess my question is, how can you either a) find their phone number so you can call them about your interest in their property b) get the type of information you would normally from a site like list source, where you see equity %, etc. 

Thank you all in advance!

@Dev Horn

Hey Dev, I am pulling leads from list source, and I am picking 4-5 different areas. Since I am being very specific, I only have i.e. 150 leads for each area. List source does not allow you to buy any list less than $50. I want to combine my different lists, which will be around 700-800 total leads, also equaling more than $50. Is there any way I can combine the lists, so it is >$50, or do I have to purchase each list separately?

Thank you in advance
