Hey I was wondering if you wholesalers put a return address on your mailers? If so, what address do you use? I'm getting ready to mail out to my D4D list. Thanks in advance.

@Account Closed I'm glad to help. You shouldn't have any issue with using your address on this batch. However, I would advise you to increase your volume. I thought I was making a lot of progress by getting the drive for dollar leads and then mailing them because I was doing A LOT of work. But all of the work I did was misplaced energy because I wasn't focused on volume. I would really considering setting aside some funds for a list and marketing. Your time is much better suited fielding calls from your bulk marketing efforts rather than driving around and locating distressed properties.

I say this because I've been in your situation before. Once you locate the home, you need to do your due diligence to ensure the property has equity, the owner is alive, etc. Then you need to locate the owner's current address, then write and send the letter off. This is a lot of work for one property owner that may not even call you back. So imagine, you'll need to do this for at least 500 homeowners in order to generate a meaningful response. You're doing the right thing by getting started, but I don't want you wasting your valuable time when you can be speaking to motivated sellers now rather than 6 months from now.
