Depending on your area, here is what I would do: research the areas you want to market in (im assuming for wholesaling), find the area that may have the most motivated sellers with homes that are most likely needing rehab in some way to add value (1985 homes and older), contact a reliable list broker, buy a list of 60,90,120 day LATE mortgage payment (this is different then default, NOD, NTS) this typically is .16 to .22 cents a lead, buy 1000, to save money get lined white ruler paper, hand write a note that you want to say to the mailers on a piece of copy paper using the lines of the ruler paper as a guide, then meticulously photo copy that note on the printer using the ruler paper as the printer paper so that you have 1000 nice lined paper print outs of your note that look like real hand written notes (do not hurry on this part, make sure it looks good, since this is your one chance at the mailing with that limited budget), then buy 1000 yellow greeting card sized envelopes from envelopes.com (canary yellow 4x5 ish), buy 1000 real stamps, HAND WRITE the first name of the late payment person on the top line of the letters, HAND write the mailing address on the envelopes, put a real stamp on it, then mail them off in batches of 250 a week if you are by your self or 500 if you have a partner (calls will come in and overload you).Get a way to track every call, return EVERY call even if its missed, go on all appointments, learn a ton, make something happen.This worked for me to get started once I had a budget.

Case in point heres a storyIt was $200,000 house but it was grandma's house they're in their 70s and it's free and clear and they really needed updating in their kitchen and a little bit of fixtures in the bathroom they kept it in meticulous shapeIt really had a nice layout but it was kind of small you know built in the 1950s so the closet space wasn't great but they had a nice big attic and a good size garageI always try to have a fiduciary duty to the seller and help that seller get a good solutionThe house was listed with an agent and because it was needing updating it didn't sellSo I came in and talked with the sellers and basically talked about all their options we could rent it outtry listing it again at a reduced price to maybe 180 or so but still a lot of buyers don't have vision to be able to say "oh if I spend 10,0000 that it will fix the problem" they just don't have the visionBut what I need to hit home with them is if they don't fix the problem so then they need to look at another possible solution which was selling it to an investor flipperThis is not a major rehab, this is a minor rehab where in 30 days you can tear out the kitchen, put a new one in and update some bathroom fixtures for 10,000 and now you can compete with all the other $200,000 houses for saleJust for giggles I have them call "we buy houses people" and they came in and did 65% ARV minus the 10,000 and offer them 120,000 for the houseAnd I explain to them that the investors have two sets of closing costs and they have to make a profit so that's why the number so lowAnd I asked the elderly couple what if we did a joint venture and I brought my money and fixed it and then resold the property and they would make a lot more for working with meGranted because it was free and clear I bought it on a private mortgage with a joint venture agreement which basically said that they would give me a private mortgage with no payments for six months I would do the work and then I would resell it with an agent list it at 98% of comps, advertising brand-new kitchen with full one-year warrantyBottom line here it cost about 10% to sell with a sales price of 200,000 and then I use private money for the 10,000 in kitchen and then I charge the $10,000 JV fee so they netted about 170,000 on the houseHow do you like to make 10 grand ethically and honestly and help people get a good result?
