I call this a "heads up" letter.If mailed sufficiently well in advance of sale, I'll receive a number of nixies that I can skip-trace or reverse engineer to either find the owners or buy the lenders note and decide my best play forward.Second letter might contain some special message or attention getting device to encourage that letter gets opened and read and generates a lead call (call-to-action, also know as a CTA).Time permitting, I might segment the list further and create highly targeted, specialized letters that address a host of problems unique to their situation, which I call a "Perfect Storm" letter.Ultimately, my objective is to out-spend and out-research you as my same business rival.

This 2nd campaign may require a unique marketing piece - maybe it is the expensive house owner who might need a marketing piece a little more sophisticated than your average absentee owner.

Made me wonder if I left money on the table.  

Should be plenty of meat on the bone to offer him a reasonable finder's fee, I think I will bring this option to the table for him.
