I am about to jump into the "pool" of direct mail marketers...yup, as the distressed property owner sorts through his mail, over the trash can looking for utility bills....and throws away all those yellow letters etc....I'm actually going to spend some hard earned money to be one of those letters....with the hope that someone on my mail list chooses to open the letter, or read the postcard and call me to see if I can help them out of their financial situation.I've asked a lot of questions....watched videos....read articles...and given it a lot of thought.I need a list that I can mail to on a consistent basis..I'm thinking once a month for six months...then move on to a new list.The criteria I plan to use:single family and multi family propertiesowned for at least 10 yearshave a trustees sale notice recorded within the last three monthsMaricopa CountyIs this a perfect list?

I was doing some research on the properties (Looking up tax records and the like) and noticed that some of the properties are owned by a trust with an out of state mailing address.

Buyers will open doors and notice. 

In my area, I haven't really noticed any type of stigma about this.

FYI to anyone reading/wondering in general, lots of places, it's just a 24 hour notice of entry/inspection.

I noticed that at a REIA I go to sometimes.

Then a couple minutes later he says "You want to give me a three day notice go ahead and then you can give me an eviction notice and I'll see you in court"So now we're kind of in a pickle.

In the course of one year a house typically won't increase or decrease materially.

I found a couple of properties that had abatement notices.

Also left a note on the door saying I was interested in buying the house hoping a relative might find it and noticed that the mail was in someone else's name?
