One guy, actually took pictures of every wall he painted and the fence in the front lawn and mailed them all to our office requesting a $10,000 increase in value for said work.

I understand if it was to obtain financing, disseminate to clerks office etc but I don't want to be the receiver of junk mail (like Bill Gulley states) or worse.

Im just getting started in wholesaling and getting ready to send out a mailing to expired listings in my area.

Hey BP does anyone have any better recomendations for there mailing campaign other then click2mail??
