@Adam Fansler... really? Mojo data? Interesting I get around a 3-4% contact rate with Mojo data that is why I pay for Cole. It gives me Cell Numbers also. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

@Adam Fansler, awesome! No better way to get in front of people while everyone else is mailing cheesy yellow letter! I've been doing this for 1 year now also. Where do you get your numbers? I've been using Cole.

@Valerie Copeland I love bigger pockets. I hate bigger pockets. This business is so subjective. Everyone has their opinion as to what works and what doesn't. As the old saying goes... "if it's true for you it's true for you". If I were you I would stop posting on here for advice. Chances are you've done enough research to know who to contact. I'll give you my .02 cents but don't believe a word I say (shocking isn't it!). Try it out for yourself.

The name of the game is contact. You need to make contact with homeowners (dispel the myth that you need to ONLY talk to DISTRESSED homeowners). Let them know what you do and how your services can help them/provide them. How you do that is up to you and how you want to run your business.

It boils down to check equity vs sweat equity...

Do you have cash? Want to get some leads to call you? Great! Spend some money on a website, run some ads send out mailers, ect. 

Don't have cash? GREAT! Time to start making calls and knocking on doors. You need to be the one generating leads. Its up to you to make contact. Time to play offense and not defense. 

Everyone is going to try and sell you on their ideas as to how this business works. Don't be fooled... it's a sales job. Learn how to get leads into your pipeline and lead them down the process. 

Websites are great, cold calling is great, mailers are great... just get leads into your pipeline... how you do it is up to you and how much money you have to start and how quickly you want to land a deal!

@Jacob Payne next step is to call a RE attorney. Have them review or draft up a contract that you will be using. Get a green light from the lawyer and start marketing for off-market deals. The most important factor in your RE growth is tracking how many new people you talk to everyday about buying or selling real estate. 

@Michael Hayes Mojosells.com - I've used this for the last year. Best CRM and dialer out there. You can link to Podio I believe.

@Brian C., Are you finding these pre-fore on Zillow? What I would do if I were you is go direct to seller if your agent isn't willing to cold-call some pre-fore. Inventory is low so I'm not sure why an agent isn't aggressively looking for new opportunities is beyond me. Plus... flippers are repeat business! You can utilize a service like theredx.com or cole resources to find associated phone numbers and such. Hit me up if you need help with any of those. 

@Tom Parris... how are you finding your deals. What kind of projects? I've been cold calling those two zip codes. I see you're a realtor... do you work mainly with investors?

@Matt Bowler, So you're saying you just started to use Podio and Mojo? I've been using Mojo as my main CRM for a while now. It is a really powerful CRM. I know Podio is popular with investors but if you take the time to learn Mojo CRM it will be better for you. Utilize the training they offer. Remember the best CRM is the one you use! If you need help let me know. How is your prospecting coming along on Mojo?

I would like to see some of the responses to this. I'm huge on cold calling for investing leads and just heard about Tom. Best of luck to you!

@Cristian Samayoa. I just realized I did not answer your question. I haven't used them but I heard REISKip.com is good

You can also search on Upwork or Fiverr for skip tracers. You should be paying around .20-.30 per lead. I would make sure that you have it formatted the way they want or else you'll be throwing away money. Make sure they have either TLO or Lexis Nexis.
