I would also like to increase my direct mail efforts by outsourcing my direct mail to a company like yellowletters.com.

I would like to find an assistant, company or website that can help me put together the mailing, obtaining of lists, and putting the mailings on a schedule somehow at a reasonable cost.

To show the conversion to a rental you would need to have removed all personal possessions, advertised it for rent and no longer have personal use associated with it-i.e. is personal mail still received there or has a change of address for the owner been made?

There's info on this all over the web.

., your agent needs to email an extension in to the title company and the asset management company for HUD asap!

Good luck and make sure you cruise the forums for great info to help make your direct mail campaign a success!

I live in Los Angeles and the numbers just don't make sense here for cash flow to me.Some technologies/resources I use when evaluating some property are City-Data, Trulia, Zillow, Google Street View (to drive the town), City Tax Assessors web site, Realquest, Angie's List (a must!)

I need an agent that is accessible, will respond to my emails quickly, run comps for me when I need them, and be on POINT when it comes to paperwork & communicating with title/selling agent.

Sort of a master/grasshoppa relationship that I find insulting.A classic hallmark is that they shill for each other on-line in a never-ending barrage of affiliate marketing e-mails, that I am constantly trying to unsubscribe from.

In general, it costs me 50 to 70 cents each time I "touch" these targets with direct mail.There are also ways to carpet bomb areas - such as "shared mail" which can be somewhat targeted and costs only $1,600 to deliver a large postcard to 10,000 addresses.Depending on your budget, you can layer these techniques so you are always coming at the market from several different directions at a reasonable cost for marketing.Best Wishes!
