Rebogateway vs others, a few benefits and a big con!

Hello all!

Just getting into Wholesaling. I've been researching for the past two years or so and spent the last six months working under/with anyone that'd give me the time of day (brokers, agents, flippers, rehabbers, prop. managers) and learned more than I could have imagined. However now that I'm all gung-ho and ready to get started I'm having a really hard time finding a lead generator that does everything (or at least the majority of the important things) that I need. 

Rebo looked to be incredibly promising since I'm mainly working in one county at this time, then I called and they said since CT is so small I get the whole state for no additional charge! But then I was told they didn't have

1. Death certificate records

2. Bankruptcy records

3. Missed property tax

However they DO have missed mortgage payments I believe? So most people on a tax list would probably still show up. 

After calling my county's office it seems getting a county wide delinquent tax list on my OWN is going to be a pretty big pain in the *** (if it's even possible, which nobody seems to be sure of. Any CT investors know for sure?) the people I've talked to have made it seem like I'll need to get one per town, and each town has a very different format so I'm not sure how effective that'll be. 

To get to the point my main question is this, are the three missing items as big of  a deal as I thought they'd be? I know everyone's results may vary but generally speaking will I be at a disadvantage not having 1&2 and supplementing missed mortgage payments instead of a tax list? Question two does anyone  have a recommendation for another lead generation tool for CT specifically? 

Didn't want to post this in the CT specific forums because I know there's so many fantastic people outside of our little state that I certainly want to still hear chime in!

Have a great day all.

    Rebo is great depending on the lead types for your area.  I would stay away from rebo if they don't have what you are looking for in your specific area.  Try Freedomsoft or contact Tangie Cousins as an alternative.  Bottom line the best leads are the ones you develop yourself and there is always somebody that will tell you no that info is not available, but it is, you just have to try harder!

    Just tried Freedomsoft for about an hour or so, I just see SO many negative reviews about their "policies" both before and after they were purchased recently that I'm pretty turned off of them. However I will say having them introduce me to IFTTT might have changed my life (and not just in business). Plus they seem very, very limited in what they ACTUALLY provide other than a pretty decent CRM software. The craigslist searching without them just involves a little bit more widdling through. 

    I guess my issues is stemming from wanting everything I need from one software (instead of possibly having to purchase two and juggle them). I can't find one program that includes

    1. Code violations (I'm not seeing many that do period, I'll probably have to do this myself.

    2. Delinquent tax/missed mortgage

    3. Divorce

    4. Death 

    5. Inherited properties 

    6. Absentee/OOS owners

    7. Free and clear/Empty-nester search

    However Rebo does still seem to be the closest hitting ~5 of the 7 criteria.
