I do not have a marketing campaign or weekly mailings or a phone answering funnel.

This kind of reminds me of that other thread by @Will Barnard's The Occupants from Hell!

Or should I start Direct Mailing Apartment buildings?

Get rid of the guru books and start out in the very beginning with RE text books used in RE classes for Agents and RE 101 College text books, anyone who can read at a 9th grade level can study the basics.After that you can look at strategies and mailing out your yellow or colored letters.

Yesterday I e-mailed some listing companies about homes I saw on Craigslist, asking to see them, and letting them know I would be working with an agent (both my mom & I have our licenses).

I don't know local ordinances in the area you mailed, but often these ordinances are misapplied or misinterpreted by law enforcement.

Want to get your thoughts on using direct mail to setup appointments with private lenders.Has anyone had success doing this?

There are billboards up with ads in Baltimore and attorneys are doing significant direct mail.

Check is in the mail!

I'm planning on wholesaling as much as I can as often as I can to build up some cash for flips, and am planning some ads for Facebook, Google, and direct mail, as well as looking through the newspaper for foreclosures, pre-foreclosure, and foreclosure auctions for some leads.
