Just wondering what % do you hope for and get on letters, postcards or flyers you mail out to a targeted audience say to pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, out of town owners, disgruntled landlords, etc.?

This is a long post (typical for me, I guess), but if you're in a military market during wartime, or a base with a lot of long-term TDY personnel, it's well worth the read:Since they're still recalling reservists, you can also try and target Marines who've come back to active duty and are getting TAD/TDY per diem.

Far easier than most professions which require you to both retain tons of knowledge to do the job and then constant upgrading to keep your skills up to date.

I'm currently working on a deal with a multi-family and the online estimates are close to 40% off target.

(easier to get the loan)however, this is risky if you can not find a buyeri used this approch only when i am sure to find a buyer

However, some people haven't pulled the trigger because the target isn't in site.

This way you are targeting not only pre-foreclosures but also people who want to sell but their place has a cosmetic or structural problem.

Its cheaper and easier.

I can tell ya one thing, its easier being brave with someone to back you up.

I would look for something much more economical/practical as values are lower and target audience may tend to include investors moreso than retail buyers.
