In the past 2 hours before writing this post, I have adjusted my goals, redesigned my strategy to reach those goals, called my Realtor and put that new strategy into action!  

More that less keep it a friendly reminder that we are aware of their tardyness and appreciate prompt action...

I redefined my freedom number: intend to buy a flip in the next 1-2 months with cash and work on it myself to put the reading into action.

Would eventually like to get into commercial RE investing as well but mainly trying to take some action.

The message, and call to action is what will really covert those potential leads into actual leads.

Do you have a certain collection agency you turn it over, do you just keep it and consider it toilet paper?

The letter was handwritten, blue ink, live stamp and made to look personalized to the owner.My copy stated I am not a broker so the seller doesn't have to pay a broker fee, my target was someone who owned for 15+ years so they might have good equity and someone who could be a burned out landlord.My call to action was for the owner to call me to get a free valuation of their property.Since you stated you have had success with DM, my suggestion is don't overthink this to much.

I currently own a rental condo in Burnaby along with my primary residence in Surrey and my wife and I are at a point where we're ready to be move forward with actionable steps to achieve our real estate goals.
