You can get a mailing list from a list provider such as `ListSource” or Flipthisrealestatelist.com for “vacant houses”, “absentee owners” or “tax liens” and include the criteria you’re interested in such as zip code, type of property, % of equity, etc. Once you have your list, you can either mail manually (which I don’t suggest) or you can use a mail service such as “click2mail” to mail your letters or postcards. The idea is to get motivated sellers calling you which saves you having to go look for them. I have used this method with lots of success!
- Real Estate Software – There is software such as Propstream that gives you the ability to download lists from their program. It is also helpful in finding Owner’s contact info for houses you might find through Driving for Dollars and pulling up area comps. This type of software also hosts a lot of other features that can be useful. However, it comes with a monthly subscription which can be well worth it if you’re committed to doing this business. But, if you’re not sure, most programs come with a free trial so you can test it out before diving in.
