Hello @Shiv Choythani

I would agree that listsource is a great place to pull a list. I'm most familiar with them and have seen good results with the criteria I enter each time. 

As for mail houses, there are a number on here. There are TONS of forums that discuss the pros and cons. A quick search will yield more results than you may want, but tons of great info. 

Hello @Jordan Santiago

There are a number of us here on BP. If you do a quick search in the search bar there are TONS of forums that discuss our pros and cons. We are not allowed to self-promote due to BP rules, but I'm sure the many many forums that discuss us will help you make a decision on where to go.

Let me know if I can help! Good luck!

@Jeff Johnson

Listsource is solely for pulling the names and addresses of homeowners. You would then be able to take the information and mail merge onto the postcards or you can have postcards printed and mailed for you by a direct mail company. There are a number of us on BP and yo can find great information using the search bar. 

Hope that helps! Good luck!

@Luke Wojcik

So much I wish I could say, but can't because of BP rules. 

What I can say is there are tons of forums that discuss direct mail and even specific campaigns. A quick search in the search bar will yield tons of results.

Feel free to PM me if I can help. Good luck!

Hello @Chris Wyche!

With multi-family properties more professional letters and postcards tend to work better than yellow letters. The yellow letters are a bit too casual for multi-family marketing.

@Devin Mann

This does still work. A lot of realtors will send a letter to buy the house and have a P.S. at the bottom of the letter saying "I am also a realtor if you would like to list your home instead." Gives them an option to do either way.

Hello @Jason M Pagan!

I would say both! I usually recommend sending a postcard first mostly because it is a cheaper way to test your list for addresses to skip trace or non-deliverable addresses. Then, for round two, send a yellow letter.

Keep in mind that direct mail tends to work best when you send a campaign of 5-7 different pieces, 4 weeks apart from each other. Follow ups are key as the average person takes 3-5 touches before picking up the phone to respond. Now, that's not to say that you won't get any calls from the first few touches, but statistically speaking it is later touches that you will get more calls. 

Hope that's helpful! Feel free to reach out if I can help any further!

Keep going! You're right, keep on keeping on! Direct mail takes time.

Happy investing! :-)

Hello @Justin Jarmon!

There are a number of mail houses here on BP. A quick search in the search bar will yield tons of forums that discuss our pros and cons. We are not allowed to self-promote here, however what better way of deciding on a mail house than reading others reviews?

It is common for mail houses to offer both mailing lists as well as the actual mail pieces. So you should have lots of options.

Feel free to reach out if I can help any further! Happy investing!
