Hi Tim, you want to make sure that your postcard tells the seller what you can do for them i.e. no realtor fees/commissions, no closing costs, we will purchase your house in "as is" condition.We have had great success using mail merge on our postcards.

I don't mind outsourcing these, but that too can get expensive if you're working with a short sale company that does not guarantee that they will close the deals but requires an up front fee.

get paid as a leasing agent on the 1st half of the deal when the house closes you get paid as a sales agent on closing minus the leasing fee I have done deels this way as an owner and is the only way a owner should agree to

BTW: the money we keep as the LLC is a fee for finding the property.

You would still have to cover any vacancies, interior maintenance, make ready costs, utilities while vacant, legal fees, evictions, advertising, etc.

And get a fee to do so.

Is the list free or do I need to be prepared to cough up fee?

For plain text SMS, there are ways to keep the costs down, but when you're looking to send images out in a mass message without the end-user initiating the session, you could be looking at some fairly steep fees from the wireless providers as well as registration fees with your state/federal telecom regulatory agencies (In the thousands of $ in monthly fees).This is actually the exact reason that I built seeinside.mobi the way I did, with the mission of keeping costs down for all parties concerned (agents as well as buyers) as well as to limit the amount of interference from regulatory bodies while avoiding local & international legal issues.

My team & I get a referral fee on closed transactions everybody wins Agents get listings all they have to do is send 1 resume.

They receive a bird dog fee from the investor only if the investor ends up buying the property.
