Statistics from DM campaign so far:Sent out ~1410 post cardsreceived approximately 25-30 calls, 21 left voice mails and I returned every call.This works out to 1.4% I believe.  

These two realities, combined with the statistics of your local market will be able to shore up your confidence.  

Can someone give me a statistic on bandit signs reponse rate?  

The advantage of 2-sided may be statistically insignificant but again, so is the cost difference for us.

And, if they are doing mail on behalf of others, I guarantee you there are HUGE margins of errors in any statistics they report.

Now if you pay me $5000 I will dazzle you with the Black-Scholes foreign currency option pricing program that I wrote in business school to approximate option pricing from statistics available in the Wall Street Journal.

I'd imagine that statistic holds true for many urbanized communities.The biggest thing most people don't realize is that SB9 still allows the municipality to implement the minimum lot standards.

It just makes sense if you're going to be doing this long-term, otherwise you just give those deals away and - statistically - there are more listing opportunities than cash purchase opportunities.I am not licensed but when I meet with a seller I tell them the pros and cons of listing, how much they might get, how long it might take, how much commissions are, etc. 

I'll not bore you with the details, but I will say that the tests I'm running are statistically significant; +-5% interval with 99% confidence.I hate to harp on the math, but it is quite important to this conversation. 

If we don't answer, we get a text message and email.My statistic is that we spend 6-8k on yellow letters to close one deal.The best YL that we have the highest response for is preforeclosures, we scrub the list ourselves through ''Finance and Commerce'' publication (legal paper required in MN for foreclosure notices).I found that buying lists from other sources has a lot of letters that return to us (8-9%)
