Alternative methods to ListSource & other lead generation sites

[Anthony Barbato]

I posted this in another section of the forum, but I think here may be better... As a new investor, I simply don't have the budget for ListSource.com or the like, with prices between $0.14 and $0.18 per lead. I have heard mention of some investors contacting local title companies and having them generate these lists for only a couple of dollars. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Is it possible to get these lists from title companies, or do they not do that type of thing? My goal is to get a less expensive listing of local properties with absentee owners that have owned the property for 10 years or longer, and multifamily only. Thank you ahead of time for your input.
