I like letters as we have probably had more success, but am also a fan of a two sided color postcard.You can write out an address real quick, put a stamp on it and fire it off in seconds.Letters take a little more time.We have had good results on both.We like to keep an excel spreadsheet on all contacts with date of contact and results (talked to them, they called us, they want to sell, they dont want to sell, etc.).we also like to drive by those properties that people are on the fence or saying maybe - and take a photo of the property and create a file of notes for when the owner finally calls and says yes.i hope this helps - we have a few other marketing things we do but you just asked about postcards.Brad McLeod

To save time and a dollar a check for printing, signing, stamp, envelope, licking,..... 4. call you bank and set-up for online bill pay from within QuickBooks 5.

They will print, address, stuff, stamp and mail.

For example thru WIC or food stamps or unions or welfare or unemployment or social security or healthcare etc.

Looking to buy in a country with no stamp duty, no government tax, no Capital Gains tax, no VAT and no inheritance tax?

We are up to 30 units now, so even a $20 gift card plus travel and time OR shipping is $650 plus.Cards alone with stamps is not anywhere near as expensive, maybe $50 - but the time investment should be considered.We have been pondering the benefits of such actions, other than making us feel good.In line with the thinking of some others who have already posted - we spent almost $100k this year in upgrades to our properties: roofs, steps, porches, total rehabs, outside painting, new entry doors, new heating systems (9 units), new trash cans.

I recently bought a huge batch of "forever" stamps to hedge against future postal rate increases.

I use what's called sendoutcards and with this I can create my cards (or choose theirs) and they stuff it, stamp it, and mail it for me.

With this I would be required to pay doc stamps (about $2000).

Stamp and an envelope together are less than a dollar.
