Your job, IMHO, is to address those issues that may be in the mind of the probate seller at a given point by multiple mailings, each letter focusing on a possible issue.As for sensitivity, I come from a family that has owned a large chain of mortuaries in CA.

It is having the ability to tip $10 for a $10 meal if the service was good and not ever notice it in my spending money.

Im upfront and honest, i tell them its a small family business, and we work form our home offices...Personally id love to hear more about online marketing, my experience was awful, it was like a convention of tire kickers, whoelsaers acting as buyers, send my deals out, adding 10k on top...a 200k deal ended up at 275k after it was daisy chained.

If I offered you a tape to buy and found you where in the daisy chain business without backing up the commitments, I'd say that was your last deal.Allowing you to cherry pick is probably thanks for your business.At the very least, I'd run your scheme past them before opening it up and set aside a smaller tape/bulk purchase, but if you're waiting on locals to buy without you putting up the funds, I'd say you'll have pie on your face.

Okay, I will weigh in on this conversation “ sickening to the pit of my stomach ” per J ScottShort true story :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When I went to met with J Scott I expected a quick meal and great conversation.

Hi Bigger Pockets Community, I after being told a little of real estate investing by my friends in-laws brother's friend (yeah it's a complicated chain ha!) 

In the case of real estate investing, the methods can range from billboards to television and radio ads to direct mail to getting your name out through promotional items like pens, key chains, business cards, etc.

If you believe that real estate agents are fundamentally the cause of this issue, what has changed in the realtor industry in that time period to set off this chain of events?

I spent 10 years designing for a national dpeartment store chain and 3 years designing financial institutions.
