As a beginner, when you begin marketing to motivated seller through various channels (postcards, classified ads, pay per click, pay per text, bandit signs etc) and the calls starts coming in, what questions do you have in mind to ask these sellers?

Utilize postcards as my marketing vehicle, beginning with sending out 1000 of them to my target audience per mailing to start with.3.)

My original plan was to send letters to each of these people using yellow letters, but when I  went to purchase the post cards it seemed like I had to input the property information manually.

The investor invest $100 (plus postcard marketing, notary service etc).. let say his total cost = $500.

I didn't do a good enough job pulling out motivation on the phone.I now prefer to send post cards with a message that qualifies more leads.  

So I have a lead that has just received my postcard, and gave me a call.

Then I will drop yellow notes, direct mail, postcards, anything I can come up with to get a response .  

The end result is either a hot warm cold landlord prospect If he's hot  I'll just keep sending them postcards.

Pick an area you want to own 4 properties in and start dropping off postcards that say "I buy houses" then put signs on the poles at intersections that say the same.then get prepaid to act, how fast can you close.  

What size postcard and list did you utilize?
