Post: 2,200 mailers, 5 calls. What to do next?

Something to keep in mind is that just because you've only had a few responses to your mailers in the first month, doesn't mean you won't get more responses from the same mailing campaign down the road.  I've done some marketing where the sellers didn't contact me until 5-6 months after receiving our mailer and have heard of instances of others getting deals like a year or more after sending direct mail.

I would also add that it's not really about the sheer number of responses that you're getting but more about the quality of the responses that matters.  I'd take 2 responses out of 1,000 that both turned into deals any day vs. 40 out of 1,000 where the sellers weren't really motivated and nothing came of the leads.

It seems to me that good deals are definitely harder to come by in Dupage than a lot of the surrounding counties as there aren't as many distressed sellers.  With that said, there are deals to be had.  In the last 60 days or so, I've wholesaled properties in Carol Stream and Villa Park.  One was an owner who was transferred out of state for her job who was willing to sell for what she owed on the home to be done with it.  The other was an Estate.  If you get anything in Dupage, and need a buyer let me know.  I have a whole bunch of them who need properties ASAP.  Good luck to you.

Hey @Greg Rutkowski.  South Elgin is on my radar.  I've recently wholesaled properties in Carol Stream and Villa Park and have another deal pending in Carpentersville.  I'll send you a colleague request. Please send me your email so I can put you on my buyer's list right away. Thanks.
