DIrect mail is very much a numbers game, however, if you have a high quality, targeted list then 750 should be fine.  

And if they can't tell you what this "registration" fee is for and in that amount, I personally would not engage and steer clear.

From there, I am not 100% clear as to the next step to take in this journey however, while figuring that out, I am reading books and blog after blog written by successful investors to gain as much knowledge as I can.At the advice of Gary Keller's "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" and numerous other real estate blogs, I know I will eventually just have cast my fears aside and take the dive and close my first deal but, as a new member on BiggerPockets, I am here to learn as much as I can about investing and about my market along the way.I look forward to engaging with and learning from the community here and developing my professional network along my journey into real estate investing.

I'm new to the REI game as well and have found this website to be amazing!  

Also just getting into the property game.

Also, check out the podcasts on wholesaling. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/3...I'd also suggest completing your BP profile so that it can work on your behalf and possibly bring you exactly the people you want to engage.

You don't want to push the wholesaler away, because the deal is still feasible, but spending less is just as important as earning more in this game.  

No hard feelings,she told us, just part of the game.

I have used BP as a resource over the past few years but never really engaged the community.

I encourage you to engage someone who knows about land development matters before you assume it can be easily (or financially feasible) to subdivide property and get all your permits and entitlements.
