Let's see if I've got this correct:Law firm employee uses client information, public or private, sifts thru it, and is mostly clueless about foreclosures and yet is encouraged by others on this site to offer homeowners advice due to law firm affiliation.At what point do you suggest Holly get some formal education on the topic of foreclosure beyond just lurking on the BP site?

Minh L,Thanks for the tip and encouragement.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for the encouraging responses everyone.

While always encouraging a contact or saying call me or let me help is a very good business practice in real life, urging people to contact you in the forums is not as acceptable as the forums are for discussion, not suggesting to contact for more information which is a solicitation.

The police encouraged her to file a complaint as they were pursuing the tenant for fraud and the rent checks were the only ones large enough to elevate his case in the legal system.

(I used to do email marketing and website conversion optimization) Negotiation is a pretty good one of mine too.Again I am not an expert in direct mail at all but I think without any distress and not even being absentee you probably will need a MUCH bigger list to hit a meaningful number of leads.I actually agree with you that you never know and if you are in front of them (And I will guess few if anyone else is hitting those mid level equity owner occupants) you might get some deals eventually.If you are taking this route you might want to look into EDDM from the USPS.
