Then letters/postcards to homeowners; that's good for a few deals a year.

I definitely looked into the postcards first for that very reason and just couldn't make the numbers work with the budget I had.

I picked up a 4-unit in your home town a few years back from a direct mail campaign, which was a mix of professional letters (on letterhead) and post cards.

(I started this before I heard of wholesaling...oh well)-I bought the BiggerPockets Pro edition-I have made a binder/map of my entire county that I intend to "Drive for Dollars" as soon as I get back from Mexico-I have saved the postcard layout that I want to use after I have done at least one deal from "driving for dollars" so that I know what I am up against from start to finish in a transaction (I like to plan...obviously)-I will have a website set up soon-I will have my CRM set up-I already ordered a second "number" to send all calls to that will transcribe talk to text -I will order Business cards soon I KNOW THAT THIS IS ALL A BIT MUCH FOR STARTING OUT, but I like to have a plan and I like to act fast, so once I had this dream hit my heart, it was on....I am setting myself up for success.

In the past, we just sent a letter followed by monthly generic "we buy houses" post cards.

Send everyone a post card or letter and get all the other info after they call.

My postcards are being printed and should be shipping out next week. 

Hey BP community - have you found a higher success rate with direct mail when you sign a postcard/letter with your first and last name and leave off your company logo?

I used a post card sized white envelope addressed to each individual home owner on my list with my return address. 

Tim,If you send out postcards or any sales letters, etc. always offer a Home Seller's Guide as a Lead Generation Magnet!
