Postcards are pretty worthless in my experience.

I was planning on just doing postcards at first and avoiding the probate issue altogether.

For mailing postcards, try click2mail.com.

Also, I would pick a favorite target lead source or two (absentee owners and paid off properties in a given zip code are great for wholesaling), design a post card or mailer for each, and play with that as well.

Where as with bandit signs,((which are around the same price $1.50)) Sheesh, where are you buying postcards???

When someone calls from a bandit sign or postcard I get the details of the property, what is owed in mortgage/liens, why they want to sell and how quickly they need to sell.

You may also want to try a postcard campaign to all rental houses or apartments in the vicinity telling them how they could start owning for the same they're paying in rent.

You might consider postcards instead of letters.

Consider sending a post card to every MHP in your target area and following up with a call once a year.

J Scott,I've found that even with a good price and a good house, it is still difficult to stand out on the MLS because there is so much competition.Has anyone had any success with other methods such as fliers, newspapers, postcards, FSBO sites, craigslist, etc.?
