After that I slammed every nickel I could get my hands on toward paying of my mortgages, STARTING WITH THE LOWEST BALANCE, not necessarily the highest interest rate.I also did without things that a lot of people thought were absolutely NECESSARY; things like new cars, cable TV, the latest and greatest electronic thingies like big screens, walkmans, funny ringtones on my cell phone (I didn't have a cell phone until '95) and crap like that.

But, I am guessing that when people move they take their cell phones, tablets, desktop computers and they still check their emails, providing they are not on their deathbed or insane.Just imagine this:DIRECT MAILYou want to send 3 direct mail pieces to 20,000 property owners.Out of 20,000 property owners 18,000 will get out of their foreclosure.20,000 x 3 = 60,000 x 80 cents each = $24,000EMAILSend 60,000 emails20,000 email addresses x 3 cents = $600  THAT IS ALL YOU PAY TO SEND 60,000 emails.Now, you cannot get the email address for every property owner.

The older a person is, then not used to texting or don't carry cell phone on person. 

Banking is done almost exclusively through cellphones (and I don't mean smart phones).

@Joe Liu - Cole should have some of the best number info if you are using the cell phone plan.

Hi everyone,My property has a cell phone tower on its roof, and I just received a letter from the carrier saying they've decommissioned some of their microwaves, and that they want us to reduce rent in light of this usage change.There's an implied threat of terminating the lease ("<carrier> will similarly consider this site's viability and continue to evaluate alternatives").Now, I assume they'd have to at least stick around for the next several years until the end of the current arm of our lease, but I do enjoy the stability of having a much longer term lease with them.So... is this just a bluff, to shake out people who are easy?

I am a new agent, i have been door knocking and cold calling fsbo directly using my cell phone thus far for leads.

During the interview, ask for cell phone numbers.Ask for 3 references of owners who have used them and CALL them.

We will also soon be getting TV service and maybe someday even cell phones!!!

One lady raised her hand and said that since some people have watches with alarms on them (this was 1990 so no cell phones yet!)
