If you have a list of 10k+, I would recommend trying them but in your case, I'd stick with the handwritten letters and professional letters.  

I currently own 20 units, have my own real estate license and I prefer to use Ron, because of his quickness at getting appointments, negotiating skills and "can-do" attitude.Cheers to your success!

I'm doing equity, tax delinquent and pre-foreclosures. 

Lending seems to be loosening up and a pre-qualification letter can help you.The primary Team members are Attornies, real estate Agents, CPA's (or accountants), Inspectors, General Contractors, and Handymen.  

Do you have the skill set to flip?

I have a good network of professionals so if I cant solve your problem, I am sure I can point you in a direction to help!

I'm currently soaking in the education material and working to establish a great network of real estate professional.

I've done a few tax pre-foreclosures before.

Never once had one redeem in all the years..Not to say there Is not a first time for everything :)of course if you can get the release pre sale this could be a benefit in two ways for the note buyer.One it could produce 3p bidders that would buy the note and if the OP bought it at a significant discount this could be a nice quick flip.. but if the sole intention is to gain control of the asset one MAY be wise to keep the IRS lien in place to scare off other bidders and risk the redemption that in all likelihood will never happen..  

The intersection between architecture and real estate development is where I have spent the past three years of my life, researching and designing in an academic setting, and now I am ready to put my skills and theories to the test.
