Everything is finally in order and now I want to run at least 1 campaign before the big day to get the ball rolling again and possibly knock down a couple nice deals to help foot the budget :-)Anyways to the topic at hand...We have always used Yellow Letters . com to handle our marketing and so far the response has been about 2-3% - majority seem to be "tire kickers," so we are considering a little different approach.  

Then you send a Facebook message to the owner of the house instead of the yellow letter. 

The one with particularly ugly brick(black, oranges, yellows) I matched the brick to Behr Pumpkin Butter and painted the wall around the fireplace as an accent and painted the rough cedar mantel something different, lighter creamy yellow.

DVD, yellow letters, craigslist, etc. 

If anyone has good advice, I am considering yellow letters and things like that for absentees, tax lien properties, and routes such as those.

There's a reason that people will send 5,000 yellow letters a month out, it beats the heck out of banging on 5,000 doors or calling 5,000 owners in different states that own in one area.  

For our wholesale deal, we made a flyer with a black sharpie and copied it on yellow paper.

Technically EVERYONE is supposed to get your explicit consent to run your credit if you do not already have an account with them (a "soft pull" is when an existing creditor is a "subscriber" to your credit, gets a fresh copy on a monthly basis, and double clicks to open it... you don't know this is done just like you don't know who opens your yellow letters, if you send them), but mortgage lenders face greater regulatory scrutiny, so we tend to actually follow the rules. - No one has a perfect credit score.- If you do not have a perfect credit score, but have unblemished credit, the credit reporting agencies still MUST give 3 reasons why you do not have a perfect credit score. 815 v 795 is normal month to month variance.
