Hi All,Wanted to get your thoughts on Direct Mail pieces I have sent out - they were first class letters and I put my own mailing address as the return address - what do other people do?

Easy answer is to have your own set of criteria that makes a house a viable candidate, and some alternate relationships to direct those that don't fit your needs.

Feel free to send me a PM and I can surely point you in the right direction.

Once the order has been made to start the foreclosue (tax deed sale) then it is set and what every property that does not sell goes into Lands Available where you can buy the property directly from the county.

I've been in education for over 20 years and have changed directions and I'm excited at the opportunities that are available in real estate.
