Issac and Bruce do make good points, although Bruce's is pretty subtle.

It may be subtle, but it's an important one.  

Hey Everyone,It took longer than I expected, but my first batch of yellow letters are finally done.I will be mailing Saturday, so people will receive early next week.For the first batch we used my just girlfriends name on the letters, she will be answering most of the calls while I'm at work, and since she wrote most of them it made sense.My list came from listsource, my criteria was the following: Total Assessed Value $1-$150,000 Last Market Sale Date 9/1/1900 - 9/1/2008 Property Type Residential: SFR Equity(%) 41 to 100 % Bedrooms 3-5 Absentee Owned ALL STATES Exclude TRUSTEEMy yellow letters were written with red ink on a 5 x 8 yellow legal pad, The envelopes were an A2 (4 3/8 x 5 3/4) in a Pastel Green color.I am mailing First Class USPS, with multiple stamps on each envelope to grab attention.The total number of letters sent is 330, Spread between 5 zip codes I am familiar with.

But I would more comfortable knowing what experienced investors would do.I plan on painting the whole house a subtle beige but do you guys all paint the baseboards white?

@Andrew DanielIt really depends on the property and on your market.We will be doing a full-gut retrofit on a Victorian duplex (will be three units when we finish) and I am planning to send the two clawfoot tubs out to be refinished in a victorian era pastel aqua, red or yellow ... the form will fit the era, the colour will add a bit of pop and tie into a more modern vanity.

I guess the subtle differences in pronunciations and dialect between Brazilian Portuguese and San Miguel Portuguese were too much to overcome.  

(subtle enough plug?

And then there are things like Foxconn, which have a more than subtle impact. 

But is there something more subtle? 

The difference was subtle but with me it was a "punch line" to be used as a joke (which I'm not complaining about, cause that's how I meant it), then the others he seemed like he was getting them to reinforce his ideas and beliefs.
