At this time I just started a direct mail campaign with a absentee list of 250 leads I got off a website, I used the yellow letter method that I hope works well for me.  

Hello BP Family.....My name is Scott and Im a newbie wholesaler in the Flint Michigan area...I'm going to be sending out my first yellow letter direct mail campaign and I was hoping to get some advice as to what would be the best type of motivated sellers to mail to.

They also have good systems set up for marketing campaigns.

I think it's a matter of having an understanding of what you can do with FB, choosing a strategy, then executing that strategy.For instance, I create an ad offering a lead magnet (something of value someone gets in exchange for an email address), it takes them to a landing page, and then I place them on an automated drip campaign focused on getting them to respond for more information or an in person appointment. 

I'm trying to filter down a list of tax record-based data (currently for properties in Snohomish County, WA) for a direct mail marketing campaign, targeting absentee owners with motivation and no mortgage.One field in the tax record data is BLDGCOND (building condition).  

First deal was from a direct mail campaign focused on probate. 

How far back should i target in my campaign?

Hi Michael,I'm a perfectionist just getting started myself :-) I don't have too much experience yet but will share some of my impressions so far from working on a direct mail campaign for several months … 1) I did make a website, since I do think it adds branding value (I'm also into web dev and graphic design), and also bc I thought we might find some postcard recipients who would prefer to fill out a web form initially rather than making a phone (of course, those are likely to be less serious).  

I will begin my direct mail marketing campaign tomorrow, however, in hopes of speeding up the process of getting a property under contract I also had another idea/plan of attack.In my list, it includes the attorney's name, number, address and E-mail. 

Try different techniques in terms of digging up deals (Craigslist, mailing campaigns, signs, social media, etc.)
