Need opinions on sellers list

[Shawn Crawley]

Ok I began doing direct mail eariler this year with less than average results. So I recently decide to use some addresses that I've compiled from driving for dollars to use a VA to skip trace these addresses instead of just sending out mailers. My VA is giving me a flat-fee which is much cheaper than using direct mail and I get numbers, email addresses, and family members. My question is should I contact these individuals first to see if its any motivation to sell before I run numbers?
