Starting a direct mail campaign

[Adam Jordan]

Adam here from Tampa bay, Florida. I would consider myself a pretty seasoned investor as I've flipped more than 100 homes in the last few years...I'm looking to expand out into the direct mail world. Have any of you sent direct mail on a large scale, and if so how were your experiences? I'd like to send out 5K/month in mail but I'm having trouble picking the best market to send to. I've sent to absantee owners once and didn't have a great experience.

I look forward to hearing back...

Adam -

Direct mail is an ongoing process.  I mail to AO's every month until one of 3 things happen; I buy the house, someone else buys the house or they are removed from the list. They might ask to be removed or I might remove them if I am no longer interested in the house.  That's it. 

85% of your DEALS will come at or beyond the 5th mailing. Check out this article.
