This is one reason I recommend against the post card.

I've been hesitant about it because I am not familiar with the area.Anyway, as far as marketing goes, how many mailings (i.e. postcards, yellow letters, bandit signs, etc.) did you put out before you got your very first deal?

I live in an apartment building, and id prefer NOT to give out that information on the post cards but I also want to make sure I receive any returned mailings.Any thoughts?

has any one use the POSTCARD POWER by Mark Walters?

I hear of people sending out a large number of letters or post cards to market their wholesale business.

This is not to denigrate Alan's course [it was an, interesting, read... ] but it was constructed pre-2008, before the SEC and many state regulators started becoming more viligant at monitoring the increasing number of real estate investors issuing securities [if you are raising capital from investors to invest in real estate....]Whichever course you elect to use, or not, or self-educate, seeking out an active attorney current on your state's and federal SEC law is ESSENTIAL, before you mail out any post cards inviting folks to luncheons or otherwise ADVERTISE for investors [as Alan's course advocated when I perused it].The red flag to state regulators is when ads appear, if the advertiser has not complied with the proper state registrations prior to soliciting investors through advertising, you've just created a HUGE target for yourself in most states.....On the other hand, a good attorney practicing in your state's PPM or private offering realm can protect you, and review your offering to investors....and save you some stiff penalties[you've probably heard of the one old school very successful investor, sort of the grand daddy in the private investors area, was actually shut down, for a comparatively MINOR failure to maintain proper paperwork, i.e. whether funds would be returned to investors after each project, or rolled over to the next project..., simple paperwork, had it been drafted correctly, and then proper records maintained]Best of luckBob

I use the same piece for the first 2-3 touches then I change the letter to be a bit more personable like "I have sent you a few letters in regards to your home at...." then I will send them a post card or 2 then try using Lumpy mail because CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT so they will definitely want to see whats in the envelope.  

Look for the tax payers mailing address and mail them a Yellow Letter/Postcard. this may be the site you need?

My girlfriend and I are starting our first postcard mail campaign and we wanted to find out some information.

Now, his list is very qualified so don't think he gets that from sending post cards to absentee owners.
