a homeowner called me from a yellow letter I sent out.

But after the 3rd cop rode right past me putting out my signs, the nervousness went away.I was surprised at my response rate with yellow letters, but I'm downright amazed at the response to old hat sign marketing.7 calls, 5 leads as of now.

Ok over the last 18 months we have sent about 100,000 letters, and about 31% are returned with no address( we even put address service requested) on the envelopes, which is a huge percentage.

I have recently received a call from my first drive for dollars letter to a seller.  

So with that all said I the PM is slightly off the chopping block.

@Alec Saenz,Check the local government tax assesor's website to see if you can find out more information about the property, maybe even the owner's name.If you can get the owner information, you can take the approach of sending a handwritten letter asking the owner if he/she is willing to sell the house. 

You can buy a multifamily as your first as well to create some income.If that's an option for you then just need to get a preapproval letter, find an agent, and start looking at properties. 

It wasn't their job to make sure you did the purchase/letters of estoppel/assignment of lease properly.

Considering there aren’t any great deals on the MLS and we need a place to live I have a couple options 1.Rent a place in Eugene and look for a great deal via yellow letters, networking, “drive for dollars”, etc.

If you can track down a phone number for someone, I'd suggest sending them a post card or handwritten letter first and then following up with a phone call once you know that they've received your mailing.
