Maybe a dumb question, maybe not, but I'm just getting started in direct mail marketing.So I have a letter written up in Microsoft Word...I want to personalize them with the owners name and address of the property in the content of my letter.

Plus, having your leads structured in the spreadsheet will come in handy as you track the responses.If you use Microsoft Word to create your letters, there is a feature that will walk you through how to mail merge that is easy to follow and totally worth the initial effort.

As someone who has used Scrum (as well as pretty much every Agile development technique) for some of the biggest product companies in the world (I managed a lot of teams using Scrum at Microsoft) and as someone who has flipped a couple hundred houses, this makes absolutely no sense to me.The big advantage to Scrum in a technical development environment is that it allows the customer to change requirements anytime ("requirements volatility"), and because the development is being done in an iterative style (each defined time period you have a working unit or sub-unit that can be demonstrated), each defined time period you theoretically have a working product that can be released to the customer.While there are some advantages to that methodology when developing software, I don't see any advantages when rehabbing a house. 

Without any catastrophe with Microsoft, Amazon or Boeing just don't see how a crash is possible.
