Hey Diego, I started wholesaling a long time ago by doing direct mail marketing and had decent success doing that.

Its worth getting on a mailing list or 2 with your criteria to start getting familiar with areas and prices.

I engaged my webmaster - SEO expert to handle it and she contacted Mailchimp and was able to secure a new account for us, with her listed as having the final authority to authorize a mailing.  24 mailing later never another problem.   

Its much more cost effective to outsource things like skiptracing and direct mail.

By reminding people of what Latoya Tomlinson and myself uncovered, I'd implicitly suggest that you didn't do a proper due diligence, whichever words I used.

We often mail out the first check when we encounter these situations. 

He reminded me that he had come out a month earlier and offered to help identify the leak, but my tenant told him they had already checked and didn’t find anything (an oversight on my tenant’s part).

So my folks that I fund do the normal stuff SEO  Direct Mail text and ( what I did) telemarketing. 

Is it a small enough amount of money and do you trust them enough that you could pay a month in advance by mail?

Another reason to send it by mail is in many cases you will be deducting damages from deposit.
