Generating lists, pulling data, going to government buildings.... That's the classic approach, we've all done it. But when looking at products like Propstream, or REIPro that have a maximum allowance of list size per month to be exported, do those of you with memberships feel limited, or is that far more than you would need? Or, in the same fashion, do you generate your lists in a hybrid manner, and still purchase equity lists "ala carte" from other providers (where easy to obtain), and focus on the harder to reach lists with your membership service?
I guess I'm wondering how you all feel about these services. I'd be very afraid to pull a list of let's say "10,000 absentee owners", and have the skip data be far from accurate, and now I need to wait until next month to pull more data.
Just some experienced insight is what I'm asking. Thanks BP!
First of all, if you need more than 10k in PropStream you can pay for more. I think the highest plan is over 100k leads.
Secondly, don’t just pull a vacant list without adding other filters in. Vacant is provided by the us mail service and is defined as not collecting mail for 90 days. You’ll find that a lot of new sales fall into this since they haven’t set up forwarding of a new address.
Thirdly, are you going to skip and call 10k leads in a month? Are you set-up to handle that volume.
That’s one avenue for business - most of my deals come in through lead generation from our site. Those lists are getting resold to everyone. As the markets get saturated so those leads. Their being regifted and resold. I think outside the box and put my money in an avenue that I can continue to build on.
