Nice video Dev. One thing I would add is that ListSource cannot always tell the difference between Single Family detached homes and Condos when in the general property types. You will get lists with unit numbers and know they are condos.
To get around that, I use the Detailed Property Types> Residential> SFR. When I do that, I don't ever get properties with unit numbers.
Hhhmmm, interesting! I've never seen that. Just looked at 15,000 records we pulled in San Diego using the criteria I used in the video, and there is not a single unit number in the Property Address. But we'll keep an eye on that and investigate your alternative. Thanks, Jerry!

It's an intriguing idea, but we focus on only one pitch - our interest in buying properties from them. It can be distracting to blend the messages, but I get what you're thinking...
We do separate mailings to join our buyer's list and in that one we only send to people who have bought more than one house with cash in the past 6 months...

We have a 3-video series that explains the wholesaling process from A to Z...
Here's the first video (15 minutes) so you can preview it! If you want the other 2 (+ our sample contracts) just send me a COLLEAGUE REQUEST here in BiggerPockets (and include your email address):

Your most target-rich pool is Absentee Owners. I show you how to pull a good absentee owner list from Listsource in this video, including the basic criteria:

Other than locally available data, we like to get absentee owner lists from Listsource (I show you how in this video) and we use postcards rather than letters as we can hit almost 2x the people with postcards.
YellowLetters.com has some super nice postcards that will cost less than your cost for letters and will save you time as well.
Hope that helps - best wishes!
Post: DFW Market over heated?

Yes, the market here might be considered "overheated". But I don't see that changing anytime soon. Inventory is still very low here. This makes it a seller's market, which is true in most U.S. markets right now.
So, waiting may not be the way to go. You would most likely pay more (could be another 10%+) for property in 6 months than you would now. The chance of D/FW "cooling down" in the next 6 months seems very unlikely. Buy 'em NOW if you can find the right deals!

Way to get started early! I can feel your enthusiasm! Jalen, I have a 3-video course on wholesaling (our "Wholesale Accelerator" course) that I give free to my colleagues on BP. The course takes you thru the entire process, beginning to end (and it includes sample contracts). Send me a colleague request with your EMAIL ADDRESS and I'll shoot you an email with the video links & contract attachments.
Wishing you much success!

The guys that license our WeBuyHouses.com brand in that market are a great company called Spartan Value Investors, and they have a PM part of their business. Not a huge focus for them, but they are quite competent and super cool people to work with. If you'd like to explore a relationship, just call LINDSAY DAVIS at (205) 304-0032.

YL Complete is a poor imitation of YellowLetters.com, IMHO. YLs, aside, look at the postcards offered by each and you'll see a huge difference.

Cognitive Bias, study it, many here suffer from it.
Investing in yourself, what you might call education, paying for gas, lunch, whatever is NOT investing in a n investment, it is investing in your efforts to make money, these are NOT capital expenses.
Let the IRS guide you in the definition of "INVESTOR" when you have passive income, capital at risk, you are an investor.
