@Jose Guevarrafrom my readings, with direct mail you should not mail to major corporations, everywhere that i have read said that mailing to an absentee owner and LLC in some circumstances are the people to go for!

Hello, I am new to the real estate world and i will be investing in land properties and i would like to know all of the fees that are associated with a cash purchase of a property and then an eventual sale of the property. For example if I buy a property that is just land for $2000 what would be the closing costs and fees, and if i were to sell it for $8000 what would be the fees associated with this? And how would i go about doing this myself?

You are definitely on the right track. Direct mail is one of the best ways to contact the sellers who are tax delinquent. You are also correct that those type of leads may be wanting a way to rid themselves of the problem property for either financial hardship reasons or just lack of interest in the land anymore. Some may have even thought about selling but don't know where to begin. That's where your direct mail would come in handy. 

Sending a letter or two would be great. Sometimes sending a short and sweet letter just saying your interested in their property without mentioning you know they are delinquent on taxes is a good way to go. Some people may be embarrassed about that so if you take the approach that you don't know they may be interested in contacting you.

Good luck!

 Thanks! now when I make an offer do i include the taxes that are owed? or when i buy the property are the taxes wiped out?

Hello, I am new to this game and i want to start out doing direct mail to land properties that are delinquent on their taxes. Not after the county takes it away but before they do. I plan to send letter to these people because they are motivated to sell because they either don't want the land or they cant afford it and I will offer to pay their taxes and give them some cash for the property because they will loose if it they don't pay anyway. Any advice and tips regarding how to do direct mail and how to find the best sellers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
