I made up my own postcards out of colored card stock and mailed it to 200 absentee owners of 2-4 unit properties.

I'm starting right now with no money. just enough to buy some business cards, a fax machine and stuff like that.

I have worked in the financial industry of many years one of whom was a credit card provider.

I ask because I have been using the same post card mailing since day one and although it has been very effective I never tried another way, and perhaps I am missing something that can increase my business.Lafi Siyam

Far better than most credit card rates tho'.

What has to happen is these end-buyers are going to need time to save up a down-payment like they normally should have had to do and that will take some time as they try to pay down their credit cards and start losing their jobs.It's going to be a rough journey for a while.

Comment card and letter to the city.

Nothing else.When I'm waiting for doctor's appointments-dentists, in line for other mundane consumer chores, I put stuff on index cards and study them. like sales objection handlers, marketing ideas, and the like.Or I talk into a portable digital tape recorder.Or I practice to complete and utter strangers my "elevator speech."

They should be ok with that.If you have a buyer immediately, you can then have them send in the check if you play your cards right.

Hand out business cards to everyone you know.Real estate is a hands-on people business, not a 'stay at home and look on the internet' business.
