@Account Closed In general since direct to seller marketing is a numbers game you'll want to reach out to many homeowners as possible, for that reason I've never been a fan of door-knocking since it takes so much more time. But everybody is different, try them all and see what works for you. 

I prefer door-knocking because I dislike cold callers. Since I don't like being called, I can't bring myself to do it to someone else. This is just how I feel about "can I buy your house calls". You tell them you're not interested then they call a month later from a different number. 99% of the time they hadn't seen the property. I digress. Now, with door knocking you can find out very quickly if the house is occupied, the condition, and rehab estimates. You can talk to neighbors and learn things cold calling just can't achieve, like whether the owner might be motivated and their whereabouts. As far as scaling across the nation, cold calling wins but smaller operation door knocking and talking to people. 

Depends on the type of lead. if its a preforeclosure, id go with door knocking. Leaving a door hanger after.

if its code violation then its more than likely empty and no one is there so door knocking wouldnt work. 

So start with what type of lead it is first.

@Account Closed I would call. The problem with mail is that you dont'know if they even recieve it. 

I can't advise regarding do not call lists. I believe the restriction is on calling to sell something. You are callng to buy from them. but I am not an attorney and that is not meant as legal advice. 

No you dont want skip tracing software. you genrally pay for a specific search or you can pay a private detective. There are many online sites that offer to find people. Expect to pay for the service. 

@Stephen Fujiwara

Lookup on county the name and information the. Find a skiptrace software that you can get their phone and contact info

@Account Closed to find out who owns the property go to https://publicrecords.netronli...

Once you know who owns it the hard part is often finding them to contact them As @Chris Seveney the term for finding people is Skiptrace. Lots of sites onine to help.
