From what i understand, if you were to take the basic list like from list source and cross reference with other lists in probate, quit claims, foreclosure, tax liens, etc they pull these sellers..don't get me wrong not every call is a deal and you still get the jack legs that want to cuss you out and don't want to sell but the mail pieces bring out sellers that would never typically call those I buy houses and pay top dollar postcards as a lot are not interested but what happens is when they hang up you are capturing their phone number and one day they will want to sell and you now have their phone number to voice mail blast them every 6 months to see if they're situation has changed and of course in addition you get some really good leads that make you a deal maker..I average around 5-8% response each week due to their mail pieces and lists. so enough said. my first month with REI Vault I got 5 under contract, they told me I should get one lay down deal based on my marketing budget and 1-2 follow deals/month  starting in the next few months.

I'm about to start a multiple-touch direct mail campaign in pinellas county that will have a combination of yellow letters and post cards.

my brokers office is located about 50-60 (inland empire) miles away from where i spend most of my time at (los angeles/orange county).reason why i joined that office is because my buddy works there and wanted me to join. but im looking to farm in LA/OCMy business cards and postcards will have this inland empire address on it and im worried i will have trouble getting leads because my office is pretty far. will it effect my business?

Are you sending postcards or are you calling them, etc. 

For postcards I use click2mail and upload my weekly lists to mail to and all my different postcard templates are already saved on click2mail.

Specifically direct marketing using postcards.

Send out letters, postcards to distressed owners.  

Also to see if you have gotten any non-BP responses to this question.I was sending out monthly postcards to my absentee list, however, I think it was too much because the number of "do not call" requests I got was crazy.  

I have been researching in preparation to send out some postcards to Absentee Owners as well and I believe you can also get lists through the Click 2 Mail system (through USPS website).

And I will send out 2000 postcards in 1000 biweekly to the same list every other month.
