Hello David! I’m not sure if you saw it or not but Collin Smith and Brent Bowers will be hosting classes starting April 3rd and 630 pm! I encourage you to attend these if you’re wanting to get started out.

Awesome!  Thanks so much for your advice :) 

We will be in touch for sure !

Thanks so much for the insight @Adrien C.!  I really appreciate it.  Just trying to see what's working on not working in the current real estate market for other investors and wholesalers :) 

@Alex Cornwell

Since you've been marketing since October how much have you spent on marketing.  And with the qualified leads that have been coming in have any of them become actual deals?

@Adrien C.

with 80K letters going out and 20 deals produced by it what was the ROI? If you don't mind me asking that is.

@Braden Smith Thanks :)  

I read several forums already but was interested in knowing personal success stories from other investors.  I'm noticing there are a lot of very old forums that date back over a decade.  As the market changes so do investor success rates (or so I would assume).  A forum dated back over a decade with success rates may not apply in the current market (if that makes sense).  Though I may be very wrong with any of my assumptions. 

I also read on one of the articles posted that absentee owners are that particular contributors favorite list due to the fact that many investors using direct marketing do not continue to market to absentee owners past the third touch.  So though you may not like marketing to absentee owners because the list does not work for you well that may not be applicable to another investor.  I suppose (from reading other discussions) that it just depends on what that investors niche is.

Since I've had some experience in the past with marketing for both a local real estate company and a local mortgage company one thing I do know is that staying in front of prospects and leads is important because if you consistently market to your prospects or leads you tend to stay top of mind.  

My main question is to see what is working better for each individual investor when it comes to direct marketing to absentee owners. Postcards, YL or handwritten letter.

But I will absolutely continue to search bigger pockets for additional discussions.

I’ve decided to start my direct marketing campaign. Been a cash buyer and going to get serious with wholesaling too!

Question is how successful have you been with direct marketing and how many touches do you do for absentee owners? Do you see a better ROI with postcards, yellow letters or handwritten letters?
