Ethan Summers would you think 1000 postcards a month would be enough to make it in this business?

People who are successfully marketing to motivated sellers are doing so at incredibly high volume, with very low response and conversion rates. 10,000 post cards or yellow letters might get you 10 phone calls, of which half are not legitimate prospects.

Has anyone found a company that works really well for them on a smaller scale, 500-1000 mailers/postcards/letters sent out every month?

I just want to make sure I have everything correct:1) Pull list of from propstream for potential motivated sellers2) Market to said sellers (I'm planning to use ringless voicemail or postcard, no cold-calling unless absolutely necessary)3) If we agree on a price, get it approved by my bank for financing4) Get Inspection5) Take the property to title company6) Close on propertyAm I missing anything?

Find an area where investors are buying and market to that area.3) once you've chosen an area, use listsource.com to get list of high equity properties (30% equity and greater) in your area. 4) use a mailing service like yellowletters.com or click-to-mail to send out your postcards or letters to potential sellers.5) it takes a few months typically, to get the first deal because a lot of people will respond to your follow up rather than the first contact.Obviously, this is just the quick and dirty to get you started.

Jason,I get calls all the time from postcards that have been sitting around for 2 or 3 years. 

You will probably get post cards in the mail, when you get about 9 months out from closing, if you have not yet complied, from inspectors wanting to do your inspection, state law dictates a max fee they can charge, i think its $250, but in mot sure, Last one i did, the inspector never even inspected my property, she just filed the paper work and collected $200.  

I also worked with a local print company to have some post cards made, and i sourced a mailing list from one of the credit bureaus (about 1000 names/addresses). 

Postcards and anything that smacks of an ad go straight to the circular file.The YouTube comment was in regard to attention span.

Then, through the magic of public record, you can look up who sent the postcard to see if they have ever done any deals or not.
