That's one reason I'm not a huge fan of letters with no branding or identity.(2) This point builds on #1 in that often newer investors seem unaware that their competitors are pounding the same lists, and also seem surprised when they send out their first two mailings with lackluster results.

I think it's asking for to much information, and with the increase in identity theft, I'm sure not many will go along with that.On the example given for Washington state, all I can say is that there must be a huge increase in homeless people!

Was in the culinary world.

I can see how if someone really needed to sell their house (which is the only way a sale will happen) then it shouldn't matter what my letter says... the seller would just look for the number and call.I just wanted to change it up since it seems like when I'm re-mailing the same letter to propects it looks less genuine due to the identical wording used... might make some people feel its "less authentic" and motivate them to call and ask to be taken off the list.

My other property identical to it gets $1500/month.

After looking into the property further I realized it is part of an apartment complex that consist of ten identical fourplexes and all of them are empty.

This is identical to a HELOC.

Also, the UK is very much an exception to the rule as identity is checked in most European countries with national identity cards.

All four units are identical, and according to my research should rent for between $725-750 per month.

FIRST establish your investor identity; what type of deals do you want to get involved in (flips, wholesales, buy & hold, rent to own, etc), what type of property do you want to invest in (single family homes, multi family, commercial, etc), what's your risk tolerance, what sort of returns do you expect to get, do you want to be hands on or make it as passive as possible, etc.SECOND pick a strong market based on it's ability to meet your investor identity and based on strong fundamentals like I mentioned above.THIRD put together your team in that market.
