That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

I can get as many as I want in my market without ever cold calling or doing a mailing.  

Mailing is easy, and you are leaving people with a postcard or letter they can keep (I have had people call me 9 months after they received a postcard), but it can get expensive.

You also need a CRM or mailing campaign 

It sounds like also I should subscribe to dealmachine and start driving for dollars, start a marketing list for direct mail, phone numbers, etc. of about 500 properties to market to at least 6 times.

There are multiple ways to do this, I personally have sent out direct mail in a few different fashions, and cold called as well.

I know that you also have to either deliver the notice in person or via certified mail.

If I had to choose, I would always prefer cold calling over texting for this approach.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

I have also read about acquiring properties through researching NODs and creating a mail campaign. 

Ive started a mail campaign with properties in my local area( Providence County).
