Hello BP, I been on  the site for a few months studying and finally started acting a few weeks ago. While Driving for dollars I have found exactly 5 properties I felt like where leads. I wrote them all hand written le...

I have probably answered my own question because I have already closed my first wholesaling deal a couple months ago but my concern is: Is direct mail a waste of time when marketing for houses in a small city surrounded by suburbs, located over an hour from any major city.I am wondering if it was just luck or if direct mail marketing strategy is worth continuing to pursue?

The specific example I think of is if one of my mailings ended up going to a homeowner whose house is listed.  

I'm getting ready to start my first direct mail campaign so I think I'll wait to see what that turns up.

I feel like this is significantly hampering my ability to find a place right off of the bat because I suspect the only deals I'm going to find are going to be through house-hunting on my own/direct mailings.

I usually give them 3 choices (although I have never inherited a tenantFor example1) $100 increase for 12 months2) $50 increase 24 months'3) $300 increase for month to monthAlong with a reminder that if they don't renew their lease they need to give notice.
