Postcards usually get a good look before they are tossed in the trash.

Experience has shown me that people in foreclosure some times do not think rationally and many times are in denial.What has been effective in the past is to mail postcards to a general area of smaller older houses simply saying that you buy houses and can close at their convenience when they want.

I have read a lot of info on the internet about how to make a good postcard, would anyone like to reveal any key catch phrases to put in bold on a post card or mailer, or have any sites that I could visit with psychological phrases that convince people to call my 1-800 number?

You can also get a cash buyer's list(not free) and mail a postcard or letter to them.
