John if you want to farm absentee owners there is a great way to do it. Get the list of all of them in your town. Drive around and take pictures of each of them, make this the front of your postcard, then your message on the back. If they have any interest in selling you will stand out over the others that mail to absentee owners. It is a little more time consuming and expensive, but your response will be very good. Also who wouldn't read a postcard with a picture of their home on it?
