Meaning they farm certain neighborhoods with advertisements (every door direct mail, post cards, lawn flags, door hangars, etc) repeatedly, sometimes for their entire career.

If you're doing direct mail, use these cost benchmarks:- Mailing list - 8 to 17 cents per record (depends on source)- Postcards - 35 to 55 cents each - Letters - 80 cents to $1.10 each Your last assumption is profit per deal (for investors).

The owner responded to my post card and we met.

We use property radar for the lists and Tri Win for the mailing of our postcard.

You will want to get a customized list to send out your postcards and letters.

Thing is though for my follow ups i am printing my own postcards much cheaper than using a service such as yellow letters.

If the property owner later redeems the certificate in reliance on the deceptive or unfair practice, the unfair or deceptive contact is actionable under applicable laws prohibiting fraud.I understand many investors might be doing this, but if we all backed out of the race because we have competition then we automatically loose, the only way to have a shot is to stay in the game.I also understand the owners may not be appreciative of the postcards and yellow letters, until they realize the best option is to sell before they loose all the equity in delinquent tax related fees and interest once they are foreclosed on, at least if they sell early enough they get something back. 

I am getting ready to do a big postcard campaign and would love to have some integration for leads coming in through a live answering service.

Michael Kantar I got postcards made and have been mailing them out!

I've been reading, learning, networking, attending training seminars, being mentored, door knocking, cold-calling property owners, driving for dollars, mailing yellow letters and postcards, meeting with sellers, etc.
