welcome friend! I'm a new investor in the S.A. area too. So far the investor community here has been very friendly to me.

welcome, my friend. Congratulations on all the changes!

 Thanks Julie I'll take the compliment! To be honest I'm not too keen on putting my picture on this post card. I have seen some with pictures but I think I'd rather take my chances at speaking to my sellers internal dialogue. I'm happy to show my face but I'd like to give them a reason to like me first.

@Kyle Handy any updates?

 You're right as little as is better, I'll amend.

 @Jim Adrian That's extremely fair criticism, I honestly expected to hear it more harshly and from more than one respondent. Thank you for your thoughtful and tactful response.

I did consider the branding effect, along with the experience:expectation of my demographic. I imagine some will be turned off but I'd rather have 3% respond with mixed views than .5% respond to elegant branding. 

I feel more confident fielding a call from a annoyed homeowner with a house problem than I do getting not getting a phone call at all. In my mind if the homeowner has feelings about my ad that's a good thing. 

 Thanks Percy, custom parameters aimed toward age and equity. The most cost effective vendor I found to source the list, print my design, and send postcards was an online vendor psprint.com

 I see what you're saying creating urgency without saying negative words! How about:

"Don't fix it, don't clean it, take control of the situation! Call Eric now @...."

@Gina Ruff

My thinking was that some folks let their house go because its hard to look at the facts (denial) I wanted to talk to those people as well. What about the phrase bothers you?

@Simon Shih how often are you mailing?
