My direct mail campaigns are targeted toward absentee landlords. 

Those diseases may not have the fatality rate of ebola but are much more easily spread.The hysteria about this reminds me of when AIDS first cropped up.

When sending out letters for direct mail what size paper and envelope should you use?

very much reminds me of Raymond Aaron, a huge Canadian Real Estate Investor.

@Engelo Rumora  This reminds me of some of the buildings near downtown Los Angeles that have been divvied up and turned into Duplexes and tris.

I'm currently writing my yellow letters and one of my leads is a trust. Do I market to them the same way as I would a person? (Example Dear XYZ Trust I am interested in buying your property...) I asked because there i...

I would convert it to a duplex.pre-listed on zillow "make me move" for $419,000 back in August 2013. tax records show owner has not changed but the title was last updated Feb. 2013The mailing address on record is in florida so I'm thinking this person refinanced, then went to retire and is inactively trying to sell.I found this property when I was out walking around so I'm familiar with the area and the price seems fair based on my recent purchase nearby.

The law says that no unlicensed entity can receive 'any' considerations due to the purchase/sale of real estate.That means gift cards, credit points, discounts, cash, etc at closing.Like @Dev Horn says if you pay a flat fee for each lead then that isn't a consideration for closing any transactions and it would be strictly lead generation.If somebody brought me a deal and I closed on it before paying them If I was fearful of paying them for it bc they were unlicensed then I think I would simply give them the option to have money out into a marketing campaign for them to manage.Like buying 1000 direct mail letters with their information on it bc that would be you putting money into marketing vs giving a consideration.

Or should I keep mailing the out of state owners until I've had 5 to 7 touches and if so how often should I send them another piece of mail?

Developer would be long gone given your 1950 statement and the county at best can possibly provide a mailing address for those lots.
