With this list you I am following 1. text postcard 2. yellow letter (about 4 weeks later) 3. lg text postcard (about 4 weeks alter) You can choose to repeat these steps or come up with your own.

I've heard a lot of podcasts and read a lot about sending out post cards and going to the courts to find the opportunities, but I'm not sure that's the greatest choice since I'm not in the position to pay all cash yet.

I send out postcards to absentee owners.  

Hi BP,I am currently driving for dollars and dropping off a postcard to 10 different houses each day.

What's even more amazing is this idea that once one gets their first deal rehabbed and rented then they can move on....If you don't have time to find motivated sellers (dropping a postcard off at a boarded up house on your way to and from work, getting on a realtors automated MLS e-mail notification software, asking the mailman if they have seen any "interesting" properties on their route), How are you going to have time to rehab a house, advertise for tenants, show the property, do background checks, do a pre-move in inspection and entertain the whims of a tenant who believes that they have a sovereign right to your property!

Even if you end up with an ok list, you want to focus your letter or postcard on the fact that you are local as well.

When I first joined they had templates for investors; ie, contracts,, forms to download, and postcards and letters, also follow up letters to buyers or sellers for direct mailings within the site.

- What are pros and cons of postcards vs. letters- What types of wording do you use to handle these delicate situations?

I have paid numerous money trying to send out postcards, letters and putting up bandit signs; nothing seems to be working.

Perhaps, you can send postcards monthly and just remind him you're an option if he's willing to come down on price.
