thinking of doing a direct mail campaign i have been doing expired mls listing and probates I'm thinking of doing taxes and absentee owners next ..

If you decide that door knocking is too scary, try sending mail.  

Also, use a P.O. box for your mailing address and not your residence.

There were ton of junk in the yard too.

Do you do direct mail to get these discounted deals?

They say smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. I wonder if it would be effective to maybe spritz a tiny bit of cologne on the paper inside the envelope so that it smells as soon as its opened?Thoughts?

If they get scratched or dinged and will just touch them up.A lot of newer homes have junk cabinets.

I am in the east metro and sending direct mail to townhouse owners built prior to 1998.

Hi @Chris Garzino I mailed out 400 yellow letters last month with a very typical "I want to buy your house" message. 

For instance, I've started a direct mail campaign using post-cards and yellow letters to out-of-state absentee owners that have properties in my area recently and email FSBOs in my area on Craigslist and Zillow and I created this Bigger Pockets account to ask questions.As I mentioned above, I live in the Cumming area, so if there is anyone who lives in the area (me driving down to downtown Atlanta on any day but a Saturday or Sunday is difficult due to time-constraints) who would be willing to sit down with me for the price of a cup of coffee or lunch to discuss realistic possibilities for someone in my position to get moving and find a specific part of the investing world to focus on would be greatly appreciated.
