Real estate wholesale leads...

[Bradley Bladon]

I came across a website that does a lot of things, but among them is get seller info from their lead page to make offers to buy your home....one of their services is selling their leads, exclusive to guys like me...(newbie)...it supposed to be a active seller w/ plenty of equity...etc...lots of filters you set etc...cost $64.95/lead.  has anyone had success w/ companies like this?

I don't have experience with anything like that, but I personally think if you're a newbie the best thing to do is to learn.  You won't really be learning anything about your market or about marketing if you buy "ready made" leads.

Also, the more readily available information is the more likely it is that hundreds of other people already have that information.  Seek distressed sellers that take a little digging to find.  So many people claim to be and want to be wholesalers but fall off as soon as they reach an obstacle or as soon as a little work needs to be done.  (This is not easy money like it's promised by the gurus.)  You reduce your competition drastically by putting in the effort that most would balk at!
