My advice is to scrap all of the things on your list except direct mail to absentee owners. I have been wholesaling for 6 years full time. I don’t use business cards hardly at all anymore. I would maybe get 250 free cards online and send those to everyone you know and let them know what your doing and then keep a few to give to people when you go on an appointment to build some creditability. A car magnet won't work, save your money on that, penny-saver you can try later for now its just not targeted enough and most people don't read them anymore. Direct mail is good but divorce isn't a good place to start on a limited budget the response rate and the amount of deals you will get isn't worth it if your on a budget. Also the absentee owners budget needs some serious work. Absentee owners are different than other leads you market to. Its all about timing. You can't just send them one post card and think you will get a deal. You will have to consistently mail the same absentee owners 5-7 postcards a year to really see results. I would say to start with some bandit signs they will really get some calls coming in much more than the other things you are planning on. Also I would target probates they are by far my best lead source. I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just off probate leads alone. I send them letters and spend about $500 - 700 a month on them and then about 100 bandit signs will cost you $100 from www.dirtcheapbanditsigns.com. keep in mind you won't be able to just send out a few post cards and start to see deals. You will have to be consistent and send many over a period to see results.
