Real estate direct mail is one of the most consistent deal sources for investors who want to control their own pipeline, and Ryan Saldanha has proof. Ryan does 50+ deals a year in the Tampa market using a direct mail and cold calling system he built after relying on wholesalers left his deal flow inconsistent. His direct mail marketing for real estate runs on the same list he cold calls, and going direct to seller gets him $15 to $20K deeper on every deal. In this episode, he breaks down how he runs a flip-heavy business in a single market and what he's learned about scaling when your fixed costs don't move.
