Finding short sale leads

When searching for short sale leads, there are a plethora of sources that provide "hot" or "warm" response leads in which the distressed homeowner requested more information or indicated a desire to stave foreclosure or short sell their home. The common denominator for these short sale leads is that they are exorbitantly priced because the lead producers conducted all of the marketing work to produce the lead, be it from a TV or radio ad, internet landing pages, telemarketing or direct mail.

When purchasing these short sale leads, you are essentially absorbing the expense of the leads producer. While the borrower has inquired about a service or answered an ad to help them get from underneath their home, these "warm" short sales leads are often cost prohibitive, especially to REALTORS on a limited budget. Given such a high cost per lead, doesn't it make sense to pay 10 or 20 times less for a lead and do your own marketing?
