Without goals we are just wandering around in the dark, hoping to stumble upon success.

I like letters as we have probably had more success, but am also a fan of a two sided color postcard.You can write out an address real quick, put a stamp on it and fire it off in seconds.Letters take a little more time.We have had good results on both.We like to keep an excel spreadsheet on all contacts with date of contact and results (talked to them, they called us, they want to sell, they dont want to sell, etc.).we also like to drive by those properties that people are on the fence or saying maybe - and take a photo of the property and create a file of notes for when the owner finally calls and says yes.i hope this helps - we have a few other marketing things we do but you just asked about postcards.Brad McLeod

If every year you end up with a net gain of only 3 or 4 paid for, $400/month rentals, you'll be f**ting through silk in just a few years.When you go to borrow $20K and realize that you're going to pay $4K IN C**P FEES, for which you get NOTHING, you'll come over to the "dark" side.There's an expression developed regarding the stock market but it's equally applicable to the RE market as well: "Bulls make money, bears make money, hogs go to slaughter."

You watch, by next week Phelps will be blowing strangers in dark alleys for heroin and cocaine money.

I have 18" light porcelain floor tile with a light colored grout.

Have you tested vs. other colors of signs to see if they pull better?

Thank you in advance for any advice, I'm sure it will be helpful as I'm totally in the dark.
