I've started wholesaling last month. Sent out a few mailers. One of the mails came back to me. Return to sender. When you get one of these from a property, What's the next step to getting in touch with that owner?

It was difficult to tell if the property was abandoned or not. I assume now it was abandoned.

Return mail is great for cold calling. Skip trace them and call them up.

First I'd remove them from your list so you don't send it to them again and waste $ on your follow up sequence. Then put them in a new list and skip trace them and cold call. There are a lot of skip tracing providers out there (reiskip, batchskiptracing, ivyredata, americantracers). Since you now have an excuse to call it is actually better than a normal cold call (if that's even possible). i.e. "Hi, I have your letter and it came back to me. I was interested in your property at 123 Main St., are you interested in selling it?" You could even do a text message sequence as well. I currently don't cold call or text message but this is what I've heard works best!

@Dave Thomson @Greg Dickerson thanks for the tips guy. Will try this out.
