Writing letters and sending letters is so common with real estate investors…and those in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure get mounds of mail per day.

I want to stand-out.

I was wondering if you guys could share OTHER methods for contacting out-of-state home owners.

Many thanks!

Jump in your car, drive to their house and plant yourself on their porch. Don’t leave until you get thier deed.

How’s that for guerrilla tactics?

Here are few ideas that come to mind of the top off my head.

  1. Mail the letters priority mail

  2. Get their addreses, hire someone with a helicoptor, land on the front lawn, you could knock on the door, bet not very many people are using this strategy yet.

  3. Put your picture on the outside shaking hands with your favorite well known clergy member

  4. Hire someone from your target neighborhood to hand write in calligraphy your sales I BUY HOUSES message on a large poster board then hire young girls from a modeling agency, in short skirts to deliver it to the property owners home or office.

4.Pay the Girl Scouts in your desired neighborhood to stick your solicitation in every box of cookies they deliver.

5.Have someone of the opposite sex call the individual and in a sweet sexy voice ask them to meet for coffee, then you show up and apologize for the sweet sexy voiced person, but tell them you have what they really need, money for their house.

The above ideas were generated under the influence of my guerilla marketing hat, and I make no claims to their effectiveness nor do I assume liability for the personal safety of any individual testing these methods.

Why don’t you set your ego aside and just do what works?
