The Yellow Letter Resource

Scott CostelloAll, Blog, Featured, Recommended Post 44 Comments

Over the years I’ve done a lot of looking around to try and find information about yellow letters.   Blog posts, forum threads, yellow letter company websites and coaches all provided some good tips and tricks for creating the best yellow letter.  The problem was that all the information was spread out all over the place.  There wasn’t a single place where I could get all the information I wanted to know… What are Yellow Letters? Do you have to …

3 Logical Ways to Re-Invest Your Profits

Scott CostelloAll, Blog, Featured 8 Comments

One of the reasons why my wife doesn’t mind to much my real estate investing is I try to spend as little of “Our” money as possible.  I will admit it does make it tough.  For sure we would have more deals if I could send out more letters, but that just isn’t going to happen. That is why it is very important to reinvest as much of your profits as possible back into your business.  Not only that but …

This causes a problem because I want to send out a multiple …

Probate Monday #6 – What to say when they call?

Scott CostelloAll, Blog, Probate Investing 10 Comments

For me the scariest thing about sending out marketing material is what to actually say when a lead calls.  When I was sending out pre-foreclosure mailings last year, there were many times I would hear my phone ringing and just freeze when I saw the number wasn’t one I recognized.  It pissed me off to no end that I was wasting my money and time by not answering the damn phone! This is a huge step for me, as I’m …

Probate List is in Hand

Scott CostelloAll, Blog, Probate Investing 11 Comments

I just wanted to put up a quick update before the Thanksgiving holiday.  Yesterday I got the probate list from my source and it’s looking pretty decent, he even took the time to check the tax records for each lead to see if there was property involved in the estate.  Pretty cool! So far I’ve gone down the list anyway and have checked the tax records as well as the public records just so I can get more familiar with …
