i just got a mailing list of 470 people in my area all about an hour away or closer .

does it matter if i send a yellow letter or a postcard? its same thing right just one is computer "hand written" and one is actually hand written ?

post cards are what $5 for a 100 pack?

@Rafael Floresta i have no idea, i thought equity was just how much they paid in to the house and what the house is valued at.

this is my first mailing list. i have never even done a deal before.

i tried calling listsource they didnt answer. hopefully they can answer.

i guess i am just confused as to why equity is so important when wholesaling a house

@Richard C.

why do you say no?

how do you think people manage property in other countries? or manage 100s of properties? they hire a company to look over the property. they handle moving the tenants in and out, kick em out, they get the pay, they handle everything

as a beginning RE investor, i wanted to start out wholesaling.

i went on listsource to get a mialing list. i did my whole state and got about 98k people. when i put the criteria to search for absentee owners owning the house for more than 12 years it went down to 1.

either i am doing something wrong or there is only 1 person?

First year mortgage from 5/5/1900 to 11/5/1999

should i go to 10 yeras? i did 2003 and i only got 103.

what should i do?
