Self Sourcing Deals - Cold Call Lists

[Eric Giovannucci]

Howdy from Boise, 

Finding solid deals from our previously used avenues- on-market, networking, and wholesalers- has become increasingly more difficult. So, we are starting to scale our direct-to-seller acquisition method.  Previously, our direct-to-seller deals primarily came from neighbors around our projects and/or referrals. There seems to be an abundance of list-pulling mechanisms, all claiming to be the "best". I am looking to compare/contrast previous users of the following list-pulling systems to see who has used one or multiple of them and see which has historically had the most accurate and up-to-date data. 

Propstream- This seems to be the OG. I have heard they have had issues with inaccurate data. 

Propwire- Free for the first 10k pulls, which is appealing, but have no idea the accuracy. 

Batchleads- Havent tried them yet 

List source- Havent tried them yet 

Deal Machine- I have some issues with using Google Maps data as I feel that it can be wildly outdated and inferior to D4D in real life.

Also, I'm looking for recommendations for skiptracing. I have used propstream skiptracing and found it to be inaccurate. I have considered Easy Button Skip Trace and LexisNexis. I'm looking forward to hearing others' experiences with these and others. Thanks!
