@Scott Williams I am running 60 cents per letter, 43 cents a postcard.

That budget would be enough to mail a couple thousand letters and post cards.

Some of the trainers, coaches and mentors suggest blanket repetitive leafleting, postcard in windows, local advertising in various forms and bandit boarding in a chosen areas among other methods to get inbound calls from motivated sellers.If you are looking to buy a list can you rely upon the answers given to questions raised?

Now if you want to become a wholesaler then yes follow what most people have already said start marketing and finding deals using postcards or what ever other methods that have been already mentioned above. 

I also want to send out postcards in the mail.

Postcards to absentee owners is also very good.

Context: As stated in the title I recently ran my first direct mail campaign of 1000 postcards here in San Antonio Texas.

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. 

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.
