Who's had the most luck in Vegas? The most I have ever won has been about a $1,500. I would love to hear some Horatio Algier stories from some of the big winners. But I don't mind laughing and crying with the loser stories as well.

What's always worked for me has been a mind set which is, consumers are not generally looking for a loan or a loan officer. The whole process of lending is a necessary evil part of the transaction. What many consumers want is a great deal on a home. So what I do is look for great deals on houses then help advertise them for free. I generally start by looking for homes selling way below market prices. I view the entire city as available inventory. Think about it......If it's a great deal, somebody is gonna buy it and I want to be a participant when it happens. I then ask them "oh, by the way...are you gonna need a loan?" I search multiple listings, perform market analysis, talk to agents, find out how negoitable sellers are and even offer to help with open houses. Partner with Realtors who are willing to share mls data such as; recent transactions that have busted out or a list of current listing price changes. Think of the lead generation process as one big funnel with a large bucket at the bottom. Use various sources to generate the leads but also be thinking about how to capture and retain them once you have them via e-mail drip campaigns, mail outs, and newsletters.

live long and prosper!

I've tried a few different internet lead companies. My advice is to stay clear of companies that ask for money upfront or want to auto charge credit cards via electronic funds transfer. Also avoid closed in contracts for future services. One of the companies I have been fairly happy with is in my signature block. They provide free leads to get you started and then function on a pay-as-you-go system. They also have a great affiliate program and a liberal return policy in place for bogus leads.

Many times basic history is available online. Check online with the Tax Appraisal Office for your individual county.
