these are people who have inherited real estate so their motives are a bit different. however i am working in all counties surrounding dfw such as tarrant, denton and collin, as well as some other counties more south like harris, bexar and travis. with the database in each county being around over 300 new leads per month, would about 2000-2500 mail letters potentially be a good place to start?

Thanks @Suzanne Griffiths and @Don Harris.  

Hello @Harris L.Ive gotten a few new roofs in the last couple of years.  

@Clarence Harris you scored big time in the Belhaven area.

Quote from @Ryan Harris: My wife and I did a sandwich lease purchase with them. 

Any Tom, Dick or Harry can put up 4 walls and a roof but to do it right, you need to rely on someone that does it for a living.

Thanks Harry.

@Harry Williams, you really need to have this discussion with your CPA (I'm not one), as there are a number of things at play and your post reveals at least one issue that you're confused about.
