I’ve been mailing out of state owners for about two months now and I’ve been getting a very good response rate compared to any of the other lead types that I’ve sent to. In the past I’ve sent to Probates and Foreclosures and although probate got me a decent return of around 5%, I just wasn’t getting the return for my marketing dollar. The foreclosure response rate was terrible at under 1%. Each week I send out about 30 Out of …
Marketing Monday: Plan To Success
In order for me to stay on point and treat real estate investing more as a business and less like a hobby, I’m going to be creating a weekly marketing plan. This plan will be based off my $200 budget and 2 hours a day (9 to 11) that I have. I may be able to spend more then 2 hours a day on REI, but from 9pm to 11pm that is what I will be doing. I’ve tried …

I managed to go through my coaches How To and pull out about 120 names and addresses. Those are from 4 towns in my surrounding area. Unfortunately I do not have a letter to send these …
