My local advertising company is built on the EDDM platform, and while I am a strong believer of it, this program is generally not worth getting your brand out there in terms of wholesaling (unless you have a large budget that you would like to just use up at the end of the month).I average between 40-50k pieces per month and a conservative response would be around 1%Heres a quick breakdown:EDDM:Printing & shipping 5,000 6.5×9 Postcards…. $410Shrink wrap into 100pc bundles………………… $40Postage…………………………………………………. $800Total…………………………………………………….. $1,250Targeted:Printing & Prep 1,000 6×9 Postcards…. $250Mailing List for 1000 leads: $60Postage…………………………….. $280 (standard class),$390 (first class)Total…………………………………. $590 (standard), ($700 first class)For the same cost, you could send two first class mailings to your targets by using a list.

@Greg Toole,Enduring success in every type of business requires personal dedication and hard work.

The platform is an excellent resource to gain klnowledge within the forums and podcasts that are avaialble on a 24x7 basis.

Great platform and great people here!

I am overly and thoroughly appreciative of all the forums, podcasts, and Bigger Pockets in general for providing such an amazing platform for newbies and the more seasoned who share the same passion.As I am only 25, with no disposable funds or substantial credit history I'm really interested in learning about creative ways to dive into real estate.

Mission StatementMy mission is to be incredibly successful.I will accomplish this by dedicating 10 hours a day (7-5pm) to my success formula, 6 days a week.100% of my time will be given to help myself achieve my goals to have a happy, secure, fun and healthy life.My plan of action will include time at the gym, 1 hour dedicated to study, the completion of 6 daily work goals I create nightly, 30 minutes dedicated to meditation and self-awareness and fun time with the family.When I’m at home I will dedicate my time to my kids and will have no thoughts of work.My goal is to be successful, stress free and happy......Some of it's a little corny, I know...Thanks again,John

Hi there,Great to see an entire section dedicated to Canadians, I love it...Anyways, I have recently started investing in the U.S. only because that's where I'm located for work.

The included web portal is actually pretty usable if you don't already have a separate website.All of the big cloud based options give you a week or more of free time to test their platforms.

We currently use QB, but it would be MUCH easier to manage our books if we shifted to their online platform.

However, I would definitely dedicate a well water line to the toilets.J.
