I want to start my direct mailing campaign soon. What is a good website to order postcards from? Is there a better way to go about getting postcards? Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

Thanks again Jeff. It makes sense that the costs will vary depending upon what the end buyer is looking to do with the property.

Thanks Jeff. I think I will hire a contractor for the estimate for the first few deals and then hopefully I can do it on my own in the future.

When you wholesale a house, do you need a licensed contractor to give you repair costs or can I have someone I know do the estimates for me? If I need to have a professional do the estimates, about how much will that cost? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am new to wholesaling and want to start marketing to find motivated sellers. I am ordering bandit signs and making flyers. I also want to send out postcards in the mail. Where do I find mailing lists and better yet what type of mailing lists should I be looking for? Any feedback or advice would be great. Thanks!

Thanks Mr Investor. That sounds like something I may want to do when im running out of time in terms of having the property under contract.
