As far as the persistence part, I'd send them a yellow-letter or postcard every 90 days or so, reminding them that they could call you at any moment and take the 'problem' off their hands.

It is NOT how much the home could be cleanly sold for.Regarding your plan of action right now, you have a few options:Initiate a direct mail campaign, i.e. yellow letters, typed letters or postcards.

Maybe I'm searching BP with the wrong words but I can't find any articles or posts on how to create the actual design for a post card mailer that I can upload to a mass mailer site.Are you creating the post card from scratch in a word document?

Should I send a post card or yellow letter directly to the owner?

Once you get all the potential leads then you can mail each of them. ( Usually postcard works best, make sure it uses key words like "we buy houses" "SELL FAST") have a phone number on their that people can reach you at.4.) 

It takes at least $500/mo in direct marketing costs mailing letters / post cards.  

I took down the mailing address and thinking of sending them a postcard asking about the house, is this a good move since the house is in a new area?

. - I wouldn't stall the process of getting started just because you don't have a website yet).And yes, I've got some examples of postcards I can send you, and I can point you in the right direction on the offer-making process too. 

It could very easily be compared to a simple "we buy houses" post card, just geared a bit more specifically for those landlords.

They have anything from postcards (recommended as first contact due to lower costs involved), letters, zip letters (they have your business card attached to the side that the owner can tear off and save for later) and other great products.The great thing about this service is that you just import your mailing list (which you created through listability.com or some other service) then pick the piece you want.
