You can do 100 different things, from handwriting envelopes, fake express mailers and everything else that costs money but volume is king.I send out the same letter, on a self mailer, yellow, pink or white - doesn't make a difference, I will get the same reply rate all the time. 1.5% should be a lock, 2-5% will come with better data.For example if you pull credit data, showing 12 90 day late's, you can catch them before they go to a short sale, or the bank work's out a deal.

Try placing it in an express style envelope

Either way hand addressed envelope or yellow express envelope and hit the list 3 times.

The old expression "laugh all the way to the bank" comes to mind.

are not made to "desparate people" but to businessesIt appears that you see everything from the perspective of residential lending, similar to the concept of "to the hammer, every problem looks like a nail" or whatever the heck that expression is.So I'll simply assume that your comments are not intended as an attack, and when you ask where the door is, tell you to prevent posterior trauma upon departure.

You referenced “guys like us” as a gendered expression which obviously caused you a level of angst, yet two sentences later you also used a derogatory expression “cis white guy,” which is a gendered label.I’m a male, but the fact that a male uses a phrase you don’t agree with doesn’t constitute that that person as in individual represents an entire homogenous group, and your post attributing such is actually, to a degree, discriminatory.The other people who’ve replied here, including myself, certainly want to be sensitive about not offending anyone, whether by commission or omission.  

I haven't chosen any software, but Frank Gallinelli's RealData REIA Express looks good for the price ($159 one time).

. @ chrisclothier I can't begin to express what your kindness has done for me.

I absolutely can appreciate the opinions expressed and frankly in general would commend Bryans point except for the 100 stance that one should never buy sub2 unless they can pull down the property if needed.

I've said what needs to be said in previous posts, and if the need arises, will add to that.Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to express themselves.
