I feel like the first thing I need to do is run out and get a loan from a bank; But I'm not too sure if that's the right move for the type of investing Im interested in doing, or even if the bank will lend to me because I have very little credit.My second feeling is to see if I can possibly link up with some of my prior military friends who I know are interested in investing and have a bit more capital to try and pull together our funds.Any advice on how to find my yellow brick road??

do you send yellow letters to homeowners?

LOL.But back on RE.. wholesaling has a failure rate for those on BP who think they can do it of probably 95% who try.. the only ones that make money are the vendors who sell them lists yellow letters etc.. this is a very tough business.now if your in the rust belt this could be different because its more like the used car business and there is cars everywhere, I could roll into Detroit for instance tomorrow with a few hundred K and buy 30 houses in a day NO PROBLEMO. so its somewhat regional as well..

I've heard yellow papers in direct mail and such associated with wholesaling but is it a common method to find great deals for Buying and Holding?

So did the spammers have any input on yellow letters?

Keep that in mind if you need to find someone who has rights to the property.Finally (and I know this is long), I would recommend using yellow letters or postcards to probate leads.

Good afternoon, I wanted to know what marketing..yellow letters/postcards are being used for tax liens.

I hate to pass up on a deal but I am not sure there is anything that can be done here.Seller called from yellow letter with 8 homes he is interested in unloading. 

I'd have to agree with @Fred Heller I know how I am when random people call my phone number I'd rather receive a letter and you can still utilize the same strategy, almost like building a free source list for Yellow Letters. 

But... my next deal may very well be the result of Driving for Dollars and a yellow letter sent to the owner.
