FL wholesalers — where do you actually get your foreclosure leads?

Question

Tampa-based dev here, doing research on how FL wholesalers source foreclosure deals.

Trying to understand the workflow:

- Are you pulling lis pendens directly from county clerk sites, or using an aggregator?

- What's the per-month spend on your lead sourcing stack?

- What's the bottleneck — getting the filings, skip tracing, making contact, or something else?

- How old can the data be before it's useless to you?

Not trying to sell anything — genuinely trying to figure out if there's a real problem worth solving here. Comments, quotes, or DMs all helpful.

For Broward I skip paid aggregators and pull the clerk foreclosure sales calendar weekly, then cross-check each folio on BCPA (owner/mailing, homestead, just value, sale history). Bottleneck is usually verifying the file before contact, not getting the list. One public-record example of what that surfaces: 4253 SW 124 Terrace, Miramar, folio 514035141360, clerk sale Sep 22 2026, BCPA just $465,190 — not under contract; work like that is paid for the information, not a closing-contingent fee.
