I think in more difficult areas, like Johnson County, you might really have to do some marketing (yellow letters, postcards, etc) to get some deals.  

Since the bank REO inventory seems to be drying up, I’m ramping up my private seller marketing once again (yellow letters, etc.)

Focusing on my marketing campaign, trying different strategies: bandit signs, post cards and yellow letters.

We used @Jerry Puckett and did a mail drop of 1k yellow letters to high equity home owners.

Should I use yellow letters or postcards?

my rule of thumb is if the street has a center yellow line on it than I tend to look the other way unless it is an IMPOSSIBLY great deal to pass up. maybe busy streets dont have lines in your area, but point is that it is very hard to decide how much a major street effects the property. just because an appraiser or the county gives it a 10% reduction in value doesnt mean that you can reduce the price by 10% and assume that it will sell.

I did my driving for dollars and sent out my yellow letters this past Monday the 15th.

With limited resources how would you recommend my wholesaling marketing other than buying my list and sending out yellow letters?  

I put out the normal bandit signs and have received some leads but I've have the best response with driving for dollars...its also helps that my city has about 1800 vacant properties so a bulk of my time goes to yellow letters.  

I could possibly see it if he did a complete remodel and picked the all the contractors from the ones that had the biggest yellow page ads I think you could spend $150K.
