Also, how many yellow letters should I send before switching to sending a post card?

Whether that is deciding on postcard design, buying postcards, buying a mailing list, stuffing letters, mailing letters, taking calls, making calls, etc. if you do something each day towards your goal you're making progress.

@antoniocoleman i do have a list. i was planing on getting out some standard letters, postcards, and handwritten letters to the owners.

Then I hit them with a postcard once a week saying that I have some tenant buyer candidates I like to talk to you about in person please give me a phone callAnd see them in person don't talk to him over the phone

Send postcards, cold call, etc. 

Today I sent out 3524 Seller postcards and 500 Buyer postcards from Cris Chico's system.

I've probably only sent out 1,000 pieces (post cards and yellow letters).  

Mixing postcards, letters, zip letters, etc yields great responses.

But I've heard these can be very lucrative.You need to mail multiple times (most say 5-7 "touches" per list over a period of time) to be able to generate the response rates you're looking for.I usually send a postcard first, see what return/undeliverable mail I get back, scrub those names, and my 2nd mail piece is a letter.

Hi Guys,I am going to do my first direct male campaign.I haven't seen any posts about sending postcards to absentee owners to get listings as a realtor.I have a few questions and would love to get your opinion.I was told listsource is the best tool to get absentee owner tax payers addresses.
