Direct Mail Campaigns

[Jon Lowhorn]

For the wholesalers out there, I am wondering how to build a direct mail list. I was speaking to a guy last night at a local REIA meeting and he said he "goes to the county" to get the addresses for all the properties in a geographic area. What I'm wondering is how I go about "going to the county" to get that list, and how do I narrow that list down to distressed properties? Do I need to drive to the county courthouse or can I do it online? Newbie looking for some advice.

Hi @Jon Lowhorn! You could do what the guy suggested if you want to, or you could just spend $100 +/- $50 and buy a list from a whole host of online vendors including ListSource, Listability, US Lead List, etc. You can also have mail fullfillment vendors just get the list for you too. For example, the folks at YellowLetters.com and Yellow Letters Complete can both pull lead lists for you. 

Hope it helps!
