@Jalen Henningsen

Househacking is a great way to start and there are calculators you can use the run the numbers. You live in the midwest so property values aren't too bad over there. If you can't afford a solid area to house-hack with $30k, you have many options including FHA or going a little further out. Just don't compromise your safety. A tip that my friend said was to ask the local cops whether they would be OK if a family member rented a house in that neighborhood.

If your area isn't too competitive, a realtor might not be a bad option for your first house-hack. If it is though, you need to look off-market for deals and you can even use D4D + DM or doorknocking.

Here's a great D4D post:

@Bryan Shafer

Yes. You do *NOT* want to mention the divorce, they'll feel preyed upon. You do want to include the main selling points for people in distress and are motivated, assuming that you can execute (cash offer, quick close, etc.)

@Graham Howell

You can split test it yourself, for us we always use variable field data because the response rates increases by at least 2 fold with it (much more in some cases). The more personalization, the less likely your DM is going to be treated as spam.

How much are you paying per piece of mail with what type of postage in the price per piece? 

Pro-tip: Use 1 batch of postcards with first class mail then and then switch to yellow letters. Why? The first class postcards will bounce and save you a lot of money from mailing a bad address from subsequent batches and you can skip-trace the bad addresses for very valuable leads. Also, switching to standard mail afterwards saves money.

@Account Closed

Agree with Adrien. 

You should give them your last name and carry yourself as a professional. You have nothing to hide if you are doing business properly. Please keep in mind that you're mailing to people who may be in difficult situations and they are often not in the best moods. It takes a thick skin to operate in our business. Learning how to listen for distress, motivation and flexibility while communicating valuable information to the seller to win them to your side to close the deal are all things worth practicing. You will greatly increase your conversion rates by doing so. If you are having a hard time, try calling some FSBOs on Craigslist to practice.

@Susan Parker

Roger that, I'll send you a game plan and let's chat on the phone :)

Thinking of starting direct mail? I can send you a free game plan, checklist of things to prepare to increase your chances of success, scripts on how to talk to different types of sellers, free software to use for your real estate investing including CRM, templates for your direct mail, contracts, calculators, you name it.

Free. I've been helping many new wholesalers and flippers start or increase their deal flow. Just shoot me a message or email with where you're at in your education process and I'm happy to mentor.

Welcome to BP Issac! See you're in Cali as well, very cool. Sounds like you've been studying a lot and networking as well, kudos.

D4D + DM = awesome combo. I'm down in SD, let's meet up. Let's make 2018 a fantastic year!

Cheers,

Ray
