From one that speaks to people in foreclosure on regular basis, one repeating emotional trend I see is embarrassment---in general, folks in this position often act too late because they are embarrassed (pride is another good emotional anchor) with admitting failure...Although I don't market to these individuals, I understand the mindset all to well and believe any marketing campaign to these folks should include the following components:- Discretion/Privacy: Give them an opportunity to learn more without revealing themselves initially---offer a white paper or recorded info-message which would allow these distressed homeowners to learn without the need to speak to somebody. - Hope: Too many marketers are appealing to fear---although fear is a compelling emotional trigger, the majority of people don't want to be reminded what they will lose, they want to be reassured that there is a chance for recovery

Not sure I totally agree with ScottFicek's analogy about hillbillies, as I'm from the South and hillbillies/rednecks can be found 25 miles outside of any major city in the U.S, but I do understand and agree with his logic.......the term "slumlord" should definitely be attributed to the person's lack of care about the tenants & property and not the low income housing they are investing in.
