One of the best ways to get started with direct mail is to compile a list of names and addresses you are interested in mailing to.

Good to meet you...Property information can be compiled thru services like Fastweb. which is free from First American Title Company.

Hello guys I am looking to get some help making a list of potential properties to mail out to start my wholesaling. How do I look up or research properties in my area that are probate, absentee owned, pre-foreclosure?...

Is it driving and compiling your own list and direct mailing?

ENGINEERING PLANS AND STUDIES: Upon the execution hereof, Seller shall furnish to Buyer all engineering plans, drawings, surveys, artist's renderings and economic and financial studies which Seller has, if any, relating to the Property, and all such information may be used by Buyer in such manner as Buyer desires; provided that in the event Buyer fails to purchase the Property for any reason other than Seller's default, all such information shall be returned to Seller together with any information that Buyer may have compiled with respect to the Property.

Once I had that list compiled I just simple sent yellow letters out. 

Therefore, I have lined up some sit down meetings with a few convention lenders, scheduled for later this week.In order to prepare for these meetings, I have started to compile a list of questions to ask each lender.

Some people like specific areas and will compile their Penn, but that's a lot of work and you will likely be better off outsourcing list generation.

So I have compiled a list of absentee owners from searching thru the county records online and I am ready to start mailing off letters to those people.
