I am interested in what people are mailing?

Actually, YES, not only MAY the act of simply showing a property factually create "procuring cause" and be inclusive of a protected list, BUT just the action of having sent an e-mail of the listing, client having opened and seen that listing, not ever setting foot on premises, YES, that alone CAN be "procuring cause" and LEGALLY include such property into a protected list. 

Mine is a bit verbose since I cater to low income, but am happy to share with anyone who sends me a private message or e-mail.  

So I recently have been studying the marketing strategies that come with wholesaling and have found that direct mail definitely catches my eye the most.

In most cases, I bring a printed lease when I exchange keys for payment, have them sign it, go home and make them a copy, and then either mail them their copy or drive it back over.

If Landlord exercises this Right, binder funds will be mailed within 7 days to Prospective Tenant(s) at a current address listed on their application(s).Move-In RequirementsFirst Month’s Rent must be paid in full in the amount of: $__________Security Deposit must be paid in full in the amount of: $__________Other Move-in Fees must be paid in full in the amount of: $__________All tenant paid utilities must be transferred into Prospective Tenant’s name.Background checks done on all occupants aged 18 and above.A Lease must be executed and signed by all parties.When all move-in requirements have been met and Prospective Tenant(s) given possession of the property, the binder will be used as the tenant’s security deposit.

I received similar mail from them.

I'm not in NYS, but in WA you can google the law and find what is required.Going off the top of my head here for WA:Deliver a copy personally to the tenant.If the tenant is absent, by leaving a copy with someone of suitable age and discretion at the rental unit AND mailing a copy.If neither of the above are possible, by posting a copy on a conspicuous place on the premises, handing a copy to any person living there, AND mailing a copy.There's also a form that goes along with notifying them.

If you invite the government into your business, you get the good and the bad.2) In my experience,(and I may get some hate mail for this) the average section 8 resident is harder on the property. 

This has worked well for us and we don't have to worry about "the check is in the mail".
