I'm currently using a mix of handwritten letters and postcards.

Call the tax office and ask them the exact date.The County used to send out postcards earlier in the year indicating what your taxes would be come October, and if you wanted to dispute it you had to fill in the back of the card and send it in by the deadline.

If you want a turnkey direct mail solution, consider YellowLetters.com - they have letters, postcards, zip letters, etc.

For anyone that is driving for dollars, or running, walking, cycling, etc - Do you ever just drop marketing material at the property (Door hangers, brochures, postcards in the door) while you're there, rather than come home and send a letter?

I came across this image for a postcard advertising a re-modeler in the area.

Do you market using professional letters, yellow letters, post cards?

Yup, $5,000 in 2 days with only $36 invested I did it making 250 postcards on vistaprint.

I highly doubt I could consistently mail at my current rate for the next 2 weeks.But my plan after these next 2 weeks includes further research for motivated seller leads outside of pre foreclosures and possibly making my 2nd contact to my pre foreclosure lists via post cards or followup letters if they are still available, also seeing as their foreclosure dates are coming closer.

So far we started with post cards then moved to yellow letters and will be sending out zip letters this week.

First round send yellow letters, 6 weeks later send professional letter, next 6 send postcard.. and then repeat.
