I have mostly been direct mailing with preforeclosure as my main focus.

I would suggest driving for houses with a target mailing to only properties that you identify via your drive for houses.  

If I were you, I would record a voice mail greeting indicating that "if you are calling about property x, I am no longer interested in selling it / I already have an agent, etc."  

I've been interested in real estate for quite some time now and I've even invested in Direct mail campaigns but I've noticed I'm dragging more at work now because I feel as I need to quit my job because it's 12 hours a day and I'm not able to spend time on Real Estate like I want.If I leave my job less money for campaigns but if I don't leave my job I feel like I'll always miss calls and be unable to meet with sellers.

This way anyone talks about Raleigh you will be notified and can jump in and listen or contribute.  

If she wants to leave, I think you can still phase that as I'll mail you a check for $444 every month for 10 years... seller financing is not for all sellers, but if she is there or not, that is no difference to you, actualy, if she leaves, you might be able to rent it for more...But to @Jeff Filali point... if you will make $150 per month, you should have a reserve for repairs.

Here are some recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetSet up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsRead Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingCheck out BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/If you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select the name of that person which should appear below the comments box.

Also, REIA meetings, bandit signs, mail to recently closed house buyers with cash, attend auctions, and network on BP are great tried-and-true ways to meet cash buyersGood luck!

Can we close remotely, or via mail?

Direct Mail, Bandit Signs, tell your friends, tell strangers, tell anyone who will listen that you buy houses for cash.
