Lead Source: Using IFTTT.com's Free Automation

"Hey Chris, I wanna get rich in real estate but don't want to do all this "mail" stuff, take phone calls, or spend any money.  How do I do it." 

Say no more.

One way is to use an agent. Problem with agents is they aren't getting paid for anything that doesn't come with a commission. Another way using wholesaler’s. But more often than not, a wholesaler will have sucked all the juice out of a deal, or simply just doesn’t have a deal. So where are thedeals at??

Well… you just have to stab into the darkness and hope to catch one at a good price. Put in enough offers and you'll will come out with at least one deal; it costs nothing to make an offer.

Consider IFTTT.com. In a few minutes, you can program IFTTT.com to send every lead that meets your criteria from Craigslist, the largest collection of FSBOs.

Try typing “motivated” into CL and see what pops up. Or try “desperate” “cash-sale” “as-is” “needs work” “handyman special” “estate sale” “probate” “seller finance”. You end up with a list of people who made it a point to appeal to those purchasing investment properties. They know only an investor might be interested in their home, and you know they are more willing to accepting a low offer. You pre-qualified your seller before you ever called them!

You can filter this list and eliminate MLS deals with the “-“ symbol. Try: “-MLS” “-broker” “-Keller Williams” “-ERA”. You can further whittle that list down by eliminating the wholesaler leads by their phone number or website “-‘XXX-BUY-HOME’“ or “-Okaloosahomebuyer.com”

And you can have IFTTT.com automatically do this for you. A free, daily and filtered list in your inbox.  Everyday, no effort. You don’t have to search, you just have start making offers.
