Good luck with your campaign Deren!  

Any other advice about using my first direct marketing campaign to find leads ?

In your PPC campaigns, you should always be split testing your ads (at least two ads per ad group, rotating evenly) and on your site, you should run split tests as well.

Plus Getting bedazzled by an anti tank grenade makes everything else seem like a walk in the park IMO anyways.My Milestones to date:*Come up with a catchy Business Name & Logo*Got my business Incorporated through Nevada*Created the business Website [REMOVED]*Find a Hard Money Lender for Transactional Funding*Find a Real Estate Investor Friendly Title Attorney*Implemented Marketing campaigns within the last month*I now have 50 Property Locators*Craigslist FSBO Seller ad campaigns*Bandit signs*Direct Mail*Door knocking and cold call campaigns*Business Cards and Credibility packages like Brochures and magnets.

Gathering property information before running a mailing campaign helps to narrow down on areas, property types, etc.Few Quality leads are easy to manage! 

The large banks have plenty of profits available to finance the campaigns of their friends in government so they will be protected during the next crisis they cause.

This is the process as I understand it so far:-go to the courthouse and compile your probate list-direct mail campaign-when you find a deal, put the house under contract with the executer or administrator of the estate, after they have filed a "letters testamentary" or "letters of administration" with the court-Then go to the courthouse and file a petition for order concerning sale, purchase, or exchange of property (this costs $435 in my county).

I just ran a campaign for 6 months on small multis here in Oly and didn't find anything worth moving on.

I'll tell you how it's working out for me and my equity partner.I got this deal off a direct mail campaign (I think one of the keys to BRRRR is to find something with enough equity in it where you can pull out the majority of your original investment at a 75 or 80% LTV cash out refi).Purchase Price: $75,000Rehab: $30,000All in: $105,000Conservative ARV: $150,000Monthly Rent: $1300We are just about to put it up for rent.  

I would recommend against starting ANY direct mail campaign unless you can commit to at least 6 touches to the same list.
