Just sent my first direct mail letters!
Howdy BP! I just wanted to say thank you to this community, and how grateful I am to the BP team for the great information and interviews they have put out. I was inspired to take action by so many people, but especially @Michael Quarles and @Devan Mcclish.
Anyways, I set a goal to begin my direct mail campaign by this weekend, and I have worked diligently toward that goal. I just sent out my initial mailing! I've got that nervous feeling of excitement similar to just before a public speech. My plan is to continue to mail and learn the numbers (response rate, calls before a deal, etc) for my market for the next six months. While doing this I'm going to continue to attend auctions, master commissioner sales, and network with everybody who is doing real estate in my area. I look forward to getting a deal, but I'm working to set myself up for the long term game, and willing to mail continuously for 6 months before finding a quality deal.
