She was skeptical at first, but once I showed her step by step and showed her numbers on deals that we should get into she agreed.So, I put together a marketing campaign consisting of direct mail, door knocking, craigslist searching, meeting with wholesalers and agents, etc.2 months after going full time, I got a call from a wholesaler with a quad in the outskirts of Nashville.

Pull a list and create a marketing campaign to directly target the areas you want to focus on. 

I am planning to begin a direct mailing campaign as my first leap into this business and have been doing a lot of research about direct marketing and targeted mailings, but before I begin I thought I would get some opinions from my friends at BiggerPockets.Basically, as of right now, here is my plan for my first direct mailing campaign:1.)

this is a forsake by owner I contacted this client by yellow letter campaign this is the dealArv $36001Arv@65%=$23401Client will hold mortgage for $18000-10%down=$16200@12%@5years$16200@12%@5years=$9720$16200+$9720=

You will definitely need additional start up money, so start saving up even if it is just for a small marketing campaign.

Please elaborate the real differences in marketing strategies not just a generalization of different types of marketing, like direct mail, and huge signs, and telemarketing, we both know these strategies are used by both realtors and wholesalers, what I want to hear from you is what makes them different,  for instance what's the difference between a wholesalers direct marketing campaign and a realtors direct marketing campaign? 

I finally journeyed over to listsource after hearing so many people's success with them for their direct mail campaign lists.  

I Know when letter campaigns say go out in the hood in Memphis you get those kind of responses as the owners are dying to get ride of problem properties. with that kind of response this becomes simply a numbers game..

I have went to court house and have I know how to look up and pull names but my question is what exactly are you looking for to add them to your mailing campaign?

From experience, hard money guys like to see at least 15k (your skin in the game) in the bank before they will give the green light on funding your projects.I have not personally done any wholesaling, but from what I have gathered, you would have plenty money left over for a good marketing campaign!
