Aaron,As I said to Paul, I'm curious as well what neighborhoods to target.

I have a list of addresses in my target area.I have the budget set for my first batch of yellow letters.I have an google voice account and vm to start recieving calls and a script that I will follow when screening prospective sellers.What I don't have is a good letter.

What will mean more to the caller - a fully engaged business owner listening and asking specific targeted questions?

The change in response may be a shift in the mindset of your target prospect avatar or a blip in the market.You ought to be testing new USP's against control pieces.No probate selling season, per se, other than regular real estate reasons.

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

Not picking on you personally, it's just that we get newbie after newbie with egos and ambitions, wanting to go elephant hunting when they can't hit a target with a .22!

Suprisingly they've been around some time but tend to be heavily fragmented due to regions (urban, rural & tourist destinations), target audience / demographics,...

Has anyone sent out a generic message to a specifically targeted list?

Would San Luis Obispo be a target area for you?

That is your buyer's list.These are the investors that regardless of the housing market are buying properties and closing on them... that means they have their funding in place and are the real deal.If you want to further increase your chances .. determine the most popular zip codes for properties that were purchased and target those areas first.Hope this helpsGood luck to everyone
