The location 3 blocks to Macalester College is ideal.

The last attorney I had, cost 3k me to write a couple of letters.  

If they don't want to move out do I have to go through eviction or is there a different notice/letter I need to serve them? 

The credibility you are talking about is just you implementing your systems and maybe a letter stating rent is due when it is due and that late fees will always apply going forward.  

My thought process is that I could send hand written letters that the current occupant wouldn't throw away, ATTENTION GRABBING.

I'm interested in starting a direct mail and or ppc campaign that i can start to drive leads and get in front of sellers but i'm not sure how or what. there is so much out there and i'd like it to be as automated as possible. listsource and yellow letters?

But neighborhoods can change quite quickly from one block to the next, and these aren't quite close enough for me to feel confident that they're truly comparable.One thing that jumped out at me while I was looking at the above county records is that it's officially recorded as a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, NOT a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom (like the Realtor.com listing says it is). 

I've left many letters in mailboxes and I'm coming up empty.

If you guessed it was a vinyl plank duct taped to the duct work blocking any heat, then you would be right!!
