The most reiable leads you will find, is to directly market to the property owners.
This will enable you to have full control of the transaction.

James,

It looks like you need help with a website too. Are you sending sellers and agents to that site?

It isn't difficult or expensive to set up an effective site.

K John, let me be the one to suggest you read this link, I'm sure it will help you more than your link will help James.

Now, may I also take this opportunity to bid you farewell. After I report you for your DB activities (i.e. spamming without class). You'll more than likely get very upset, delete your account and never try that around here where smarter investors seem to be able to weed out the weak.

On the other hand, you could take this opportunity to redeem yourself. Follow the very simple rules of the forum, build some credibility and then, maybe, just maybe, offer 'spamilicious help' disguised as help.

Your choice, I've hi-jacked this thread enough, oh wait, you actually already did that now didn't you :roll:

That sounds pretty fair. I just talked to another guy on the phone today who will likely propose something similar. He says that other investors he's working with are getting a decent response.

Anyone have success with something like a live transfer lead, where the person is on the phone and is prepped to talk to you?

Anyone having success with sponsored links on google? (not paid ads)

I've worked a lot with bird dogs but it's so much work training them what to look for. I often end up spending more time educating them than it's worth.

Thanks everyone for your input.

I would recommend getting 60 day late leads because you get alot more time to market to the individual and that is key. Also alot of RE agents,investors wait till the NOD to get started which means you have to compete with all of them.

Now here is what I'm doing for the company I work for.

1.) Get 60 day late leads from the Credit Bureau's ( There is a company that gets them for cheap)
1000 Leads for about $320.

2.) Design a Mailing Campaign - Copywrite headlines etc, Design the postcards, get approval done.

3.) Talk to Directmail company for quote
Price $755
10.5 by 5.5 Full Color Both Sides
Printed & Mailed. Hard Copy proof.



4.) Get approval from boss and send out postcards to get printed and mailed.

That's my current workflow.

Total Cost : $1075

Now that might seem like alot but that's because you purchased the leads. You can go with Nod's which are cheaper but it is a crowded market. Also once you purchase a list you can go at them again for a 2nd run ?

If you need any help or anything just send me a Pm

- Jim is the man. He was recommended by a fellow seasoned BP member.

I don't send yellow letters primarily because my boss isn't 100% convinced that they work. We mostly just do postcards, (Well designed and well written one's if I must brag lol) and just get the appointments. Then the closers go in and seal the deal

I called Jim from Homestead Data and he seems like a stand up guy with a stand up company. His data looks good.

I got an email about a week ago from a competitor of his with supposedly even better rates - it was .13 a lead.

Maybe someone wants to try calling him? This is his name.

Minimum quantity = 500, so around $65 bucks
