I am trying to understand why they would not let you just use the same addresses once purchased to mail again...I believe Melissa Data does not work like List Source, they let you use the list as many time as you would like.I am evaluating these two to decide which one will work better, or which would be more convenient. 

Hi Carla,Sure thing.Send me your email address (email me at [email protected]) and I will have my partner Christy-Ann add you onto our monthly notifications list.Nice to meet a local BP'er here in the Bay Area!

I'm somewhat stuck at a crossroads because Phoenix has shot up quite a bit (about 22%) in the last year, but it was mostly in single family homes due to institutional investors (it seems to me).A fear i have about these large companies buying so many homes is that they could dump them quickly and poorly effect the market.Also, I fear that the Phoenix market has been eaten up so quickly its been exhausted of its potential.

Marco, you really didn't address Raymond's experience.

The terms of a lease option are negotiable to address Ben's concerns.The beauty of a lease option is being able to test drive the investment prior to a larger financial commitment.Use two separate agreements when buying, one agreement when selling.

So effectively would make $48,417/year versus under 20k.

I have mailed some letters and postcards but I believe it would be much more effective to send them to a website with information, a video, and a downloadable PDF.

Just curious what methods are being used to most effectively close a sandwich lease option?

However, if you have the address of the property you can look up this information online.
