Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

I mailed out a bunch of letters to homeowners selling their homes. Out of about 75 letters, 35 of them came back to me Stamped vacant. All these homes are nice homes in pristine condition. One lady I spoke with from a mailing. We spoke twice..great convo and rapport. I pitched her a lease option deal. She is for it, if her home doesnt sell by the time her contract is up with her realtor. She says they will be renting once this house sold and I told her I can find a property for her on a lease option. They want to down size. She said ok. So hopefully I picked up a 2 for 1.

Any one doing well with expired listings? If so how many do you mail monthly. How many deals from your from x amount of letters mailed?

Thank YOu

company that is getting great results?

Thanks

Does anyone have an affective letter to send to absentee owners?

Thank you

Ive learned from many wholesalers to obtain a section 8 landlord list. The reason this is such a goldmine is it can build a huge buyers list quickly and possibly even find motivated landlords.

Apparently its public information. I went to the raleigh housing authority ( http://www.rhaonline.com/contact.htm) and the secretary (who was in a bad mood) told me its not public info and she can't help. Whats up with that?

Dg family, can you give me a your opinion? It'll take just a minute.
Should flyers be handwritten or printed? Do you think printed would jump out to the audience more, or will totally handwritten flyers seem more "local"?

Any advice on marketing in LA County if your looking to wholesale. What are the most effective marketing strategies.

That wasn't the call I was hoping to get. My town has a ban on signs in the rightaway. Where do you put them in your town? The officer said a ticket could happen if I do it again. Your ideas please.
thanks,

Here's some nice information I found while surfing the web.

In order to become a successful real estate investor there are certain skills that must be mastered. One of these skills is marketing. The following list is a great way to insure your marketing program is successful and make sure that your investment home does not sit empty and drain your bank account while you wait for a buyer.

Make an effort to do several of these action items each day until your investment home sales, rents, leases, or you are forced to move in:

1. Put signs in yard (be sure phone numbers are readable):
For Sale
Flexible Seller
Motivated Seller
"0" down

2. See that landscaping looks great

3. Check out & fix mail box if needed

4. Clean driveway if needed

I have had no problems building my buyers list on Craigslist but I'm having a hard time building a sellers list from CL.

Where are the best places and times to place my ads and what are the best, most unique ads you have had get good results for you?

Thanks in advance!
