Public Records and Other Lead Sources: What Works?

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of investors talk about the challenge of finding quality motivated seller opportunities.

From what I’ve seen across different markets, the most consistent results tend to come from public record data—pre-foreclosures, probates, liens, evictions, and code violations.

Accuracy seems to matter more than just volume, because bad data leads to bad campaigns and wasted budget.

Curious what others here are doing:

• Are you sourcing leads from public records directly?
• Using a CRM platform?
• Networking-based deal flow?
• Something different?

I work in lead-sourcing and data research day-to-day, so I’m always interested in learning how other investors approach this part of the process.

What’s been working best for you?
