Wow, Johnny. That is an amazing analysis and you have given me a better perspective on things. Maybe I will go get a job and use the money on post cards. My question is, should I mail to divorces? Foreclosures? Absentee owners? Or all of the above? And what is the most cost-effective way to go about aquiring these lists? List source? Rebogateway? U.S. Leads list? Or others? Thanks so much again for the time and thought you put into your responses. 

Thanks Johnny and Devan. And I probably should've mentioned in the original post that I have been actively engaged in lead acquisition for about 4 months now with no luck so far from my yellow letters and Adwords campaign. I've been on a few appointments and just haven't been able to make anything work for various reasons. That's why I'm moving on to door pre foreclosure knocking as my main "acquisition" activity for now, all I need is one deal from that, and I can scale my marketing way up. But I will continue the mail in the mean time. I must say I certainly appreciate the input and it is duely noted. It's good to know that there's people out there with intent to help. Thanks guys. 

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Hello BP, I have recently started my venture in wholesaling, and plan to work my way up to eventually owning and renting out apartment complexes/vacation condos, etc... But for now, I'm 20 years old, broke, and have quit my 60-65 hr a week job. Ok so first off, today, I started to try to market to people who are currently in the "pre-foreclosure" process. I am using Zillow to find these listings, but it seems like the "Pre foreclosures" listed on Zillow may be out of date. Most of the homes I approached today (yes, I'm door knocking, and yes I know it's dangerous, desperate, etc etc...) were either weatherized or completely gutted and obviously already foreclosed upon or bought. Does anyone else have experience with using Zillow for pre foreclosure listings? Are there any alternatives as far as free (or very cheap) Pre foreclosure listings? Also, I want to know if there any successful wholesalers out there who have experience door knocking and can provide any tips? I know it's a long read and I'm asking a lot but any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Walton/Gwinnett counties, Ga if that matters to anyone. Anyways, thanks for reading. Cheers.

Hey, don't ever let age get in your way. I'm 20 years old and would love more than anything to have discovered the amazing world of RE investing at your age. I have recently begun my wholesaling venture and I haven't had a deal yet either. I am currently targeting homes in Pre-foreclosure as well. Not only are you helping someone out of a tough situation, but you are also making money doing it! More power to you. I have tons of respect for you. Keep doing your thing regardless of what anyone has to say. "What you can conceive and believe, you will achieve."

@Jack Tucker I certainly appreciate the input, and I will be using them. I would like to learn your criteria, however, I am a newbie so once I get the feel for wholesaling and the whole process I would like to link up and maybe bring you some deals according to your criteria. Thanks again. 

Hello, I plan on wholesaling real estate this year and I am in need of a good closing attorney that I can build a working business relationship with near Athens, Ga. Feel free to share, it would be greatly appreciated
