What are the legal obligations for wholesaling as an RE broker? Do I need to disclose that I am a broker in my mailers? I am assuming because these deals stay off of the MLS it isn't necessary. I understand every state has different guidelines. Anyone from Washington in my position?

Thanks!

@Account Closed Great, thank you. I'll check that out!

And no, I'm not familiar with who that is.

@Tim Leslie I haven't gotten as far as ordering the final letters yet. I was just playing around with the options prior to ordering when it occurred to me that this might be an issue. I called but unfortunately their offices were closed. If they will take care of it for me, that would be much better than hand writing each mailer! Thanks for the info! 

Thanks @Curt Davis , that did help! Also, for anyone else looking for scripts, yellowletters.com has one available on their site! I thought that was pretty cool.

Got some more questions for you guys.

We are using yellowletters.com. Do they have some type of generator that imports our lists for us? Or, will I be receiving the letter the way I want it to look and its envelope, then handwriting the names and addresses for each individual letter?

Thanks guys!

Thank you @Michael Quarles ,

We decided to opt out of using virtual assistants for now, but I will keep those two in mind when we need them in the future. I do have some questions for you seeing that you are afiliated with Yellowletters.com 

Any advice on some verbiage to use within our mailers that sounds a touch more personal vs. the typical investor's "Sell me your home!"? Will I be able to get help with something like this within the site? I'm looking for a few samples of yellow letters to present to my partners by this Friday.

Thank you,

Hello everyone. I recently asked for some feedback on how to begin our direct mail campaign. Now with much more knowledge, we only need a little clean up before our launch. 

Anyone have some good key phrases for yellow letter mailers? I'm looking for something aside from the typical phrase that screams investor. (ie; We have cash! Sell us your house!) Something a little more personal. Anyone willing to share samples of successful letters they have used? 

I will be the one answering all responses. What type of check list/script do you guys use to screen callers? Specifically, interview questions that you quickly ask to know whether or not you have a deal? 

Thank you all in advance for your feedback! 

Thank you all for your feedback. It seems as though $1000 a month is the most common response; here and in other forums regarding direct mail marketing. 

Anyone have any feedback on the use of virtual assistants? 

My business partners and I are looking into expanding our real estate investment business. A couple questions in regards to direct mail marketing from those who have found it very rewarding: Is it worth it to narrow down your market to, ie, only owners who own their homes free and clear, home owners who are out of state, etc, or send out a mass amount to every homeowner in a particular area? What is a good average monthly budget on marketing? Our plan is to use click2 mail. Is there any other site anyone can recommend that they feel is better? Has anyone used virtual assistants? Please provide any feedback, good and bad. Thank you.
