I cannot see us talking about investments that we would all be competing for, or discussing a mail campaign, etc. 

I set up "Cincinnati" and "Dayton" last night and I already feel like if I add anything else, I won't have any time left after checking my e-mails to look at houses ;)@George Calbert, small world!

My husband was contacted by the homeowner in response to our direct mail and theowner is willing to allow us to purchase the property for whatever price the bank will accept (loan amount and penalties)--he just wants to avoid the completion of the foreclosure.Any advice?

Hey @Gerald Harris,I would mail to all of them depending how large the list is.  

What are you finding for response rates for postcard mailings and offer acceptance rates.

Also, is mailing the personal reps the best option?

Mailings might cost you $300 per run and you'll need to do 6-8 runs to start seeing results.

I will also be sending out a direct mail campaign in the next 2 weeks, so let me know if you would like to be added to my contact list when I come across a property deal. 

With that said hearing you talk about the filing system at you bank only makes me feel better about not falling for some expensive design, print, and mail campaign I have 4 bird dogs in the field right now that I guide everyday, this reminds me there is no shortcuts, "no offence Lenard" for hard face to face work.
