I sent out my first batch of probate letters to my target zip codes in Feb of this year.

It's a great business model because there is always a new batch of people who get bored with whatever the're doing today and they believe someone will hand-hold them to success at no charge in real estate...after all, how hard can it be? 

I guess everyone does.I am, however, putting out 6000 mail pieces a month....my first large volume batch of letters are being printed right now. 

You could listen to the podcasts on wholesaling and spend about $1,000 on your first batch of letters and such that go out and get your first deal that way.

I've only sent out the first batch, so it may be 3 or 4 more mailings before any responses, but I'm preparing myself for super-motivated, super-angry, and everything in between.

Plan to resubmit offers from the month before along with new batch of offers and so on...drip, drip Currently, at the FC sales, the average transaction is anywhere between 65-70 cent/1.00 and, of course, most properties up for auction are going back to the banks.

Its a good idea for an app, but needs a few tweaks to make it just perfect for what I am trying to accomplish.I then used batch geo to create a map of all the places I stopped at or saw.

I got my most recent batch of business cards (they're fairly generic, just have my name, email, phone, and website on a blue design background... glossy on the front, nothing on the back) for less than 15 bucks shipped OVERNIGHT 'cause I needed them the day after, 250 for free, only pay shipping... so there's no excuse for cheap looking business cards in this day and age!

I also start getting calls immediately after sending out a batch of hand-addressed letters. 

If I could buy more SFH in big batches, I would.
