After listening to Michael Quarles on podcast 81 I realized the "fruit bowl" for equity was pretty much all I should really be mailing to.I mailed out to equity and got fewer leads and most wanted retail BUT they were all laser focused on sellers I could actually do deals with that had equity vs. other lists who may have a few who have equity, and a few who might actually be motivated (with no equity, underwater, waited to the last minute to sell). 

I realize the absentee owners list is considered low hanging fruit but I don't know of anyone else marketing in my area and I'm curious to see the response rate.

We found we had too many eggs (capital) in this price point basket.  

Hopefully it is just low hanging fruit to be negotiated out because the rest of the bill is decently reasonable.

Maybe you like all your eggs in the "investment" basket and that's fine, too, I just don't get it.

I think it comes down to what others are saying that if you take serious action, you will see the fruits of your labor.
