I sent  1200+ yellow letters throughout Dec and most of Jan.

Bandits, yellow letters, post cards, Internet marketing, just curious. 

But the one thing that does concern me and please correct me if I'm way off base, but if I were to send out yellow letters and such and then find a deal on my own that way, would I then have to bring that agent in on the transaction if I would normally just be using a real estate attorney to draw up the contracts?

If you listen to the podcasts and have been on this site for any amount of time, there are lots of different ways to find deals from yellow letters, to working with wholesalers, even craigslist.
