Is there value to starting with anything other than postcards - like yellow letters - or would a newbie like myself be better off going for quantity at this point? 

You could say that when we first met I was borderline obsessed with real estate investing and held a vivid picture in my mind that I used to remind myself the life that I KNEW real estate investing would provide for us.

I've had good success with yellow letter campaigns, but there are a number of other ways to market, too.  

Find a system for digging up those properties that would be more likely to sell for less--whether that be auction properties or doing yellow letters or working with a wholesaler or something else.3.

Since you are doing your own I imagine you are sending a Yellow Letter. 

I don't do post cards because my response rate has never been great, so I just stick to sending out yellow letters with hand-written font. 

I have never done any real estate marketing before and I was wondering if Facebook Ads generate a better ROI than bandit signs, postcards or even yellow letters.

Well about 30 minutes ago I got my first call from the sister of the owner of the property I sent out a yellow letter to.

I basically beat the competition to the punch and made it hard for the sellers to say "no".Another good deal came about because I stalked a property that had been on the MLS for a long time and put in a lowball offer when I thought the sellers were motivated enough to accept my offer.All that being said, your best source for consistent, good "fix and flip" deals is to implement some off-market acquisition strategies (yellow letters, bandit signs, door knocking, door hangers, bird dogs, etc).
