Postcards.

Get a address list from a marketing company and send post cards in your neighborhood.

Most people just blast out 100000000 postcards (I got 6 of them today!). 

In the subject of contacting distressed homeowners, there must be a different or better route than just sending postcards and Facebook links.

Each market has 100 wholesellers putting up signs, calling vacant owners, sending out flyers, postcards. 

;)I will try a postcard next month, and see if keeping consistent contact and message proves effective in the future.

I met with a lady that received one of my D4$ post cards.

Had to buy with cash, because nobody would lend in the area, especially on 10k houses. 2 years ago I was finally able to start refinancing.Now the market has turned and I get inundated with postcards and calls from investors. 

I have gathered a list of Cash Buyers in my area and I plan to send out postcards, but I am not sure exactly what to say in them.

As example, list segments in Lufkin for single family homes <$100,000 with 2+bathrooms (the county doesn't report number of bedrooms) owners known to have low equity eliminated: 208 Seniors, age 60-89, 15+ year residence96 Absentee Owners215 Owners with Low Financial Stability Scores, age 40-89, 5+ year residenceThese are great potential sellers for you to mail a letter of post card letting them know how easy you can make it for them to sell their house to you.
