Starting Direct Mailing for Absentee Owners in my area.

I am getting started in Direct Mailing Absentee Owners of 3+ units in my area. I purchased my list from ListSource. I have some general questions:

1. What is a good way/letter to to write to a Absentee Owner List?

2. I purchased my list from ListSource. Its a $50 payment minimum, so i had to expand in unwanted areas as my area didn't make the total $50. I marked off areas on the printed sheet with a marker. Do you all look up every single property on the mailing list? Or just start writing/mailing letters immediately? 

3. Any success/tips to share?

Thanks!

wait.

Why did you decide to do DMM for absentee owners?

It really is not the best list to sent to... in my honest opinion...

But alas... I will answer you regardless, because I am just that good of a dude.

You will write absentee owners the same thing you would write bad tanant owners.

Simply this.

Prepare to die.

If you do not know where this is from I am devorcing you right now!

After that you say...

I woul dlove to buy your house. I am an investor and I will buy in cash so there will be no hassles. If interested hunny bunz call me @ 1-800-SexyBum

Yes ... there is no magic letter. You say what you want to tell them. The less trickery, the better it will be received.

The BETTER tip is..

the ONLY point for the direct mailer is to send them over to your website. Have no website? You should NOT do DMM at all till you have a GREAT website. PERIOD. 

The website will do a MUCH better job converting your traffic than the mailer alone can.

Just do as I say. I know all!
