Best Marketing Method?

[Gary Ramirez]

I have recently targeted absentee owners and had a great response rate. The only issue is that they were not very motivated at all just interested in hearing my offer. The ole "I might sell if the price is right" which was really that they were looking for a retail buyer. Has anyone else encountered this response as well? If so, what marketing method and targeted group (porbate, absentee owners or pre foreclosures)do you feel has been the most effective for finding motivated sellers?
