I do a combination of things to obtain leads and convert them. I use a multi-pronged, layered approach that combines several different things. I suggest starting with one strategy and sticking with it until you've mastered it, then begin to layer in other strategies one by one as you master each one.

Most definitely! Thank you!

Many investors are using cold calling these days. They either do it themselves, hire an in house ISA, or an outside VA to make the calls.

See here for some tips: REI Cold Calling Tutorial

The conversion rate with cold calling is about the same as direct mail... 1-3%, so if you do the cold calling yourself be prepared to handle a lot of rejection. Cold calling is not for the faint of heart. You need some thick skin to deal with lots of defensiveness, pushback and rejection.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely check out that link.

What's your preferred method of obtaining/converting leads?

I have experience with door to door, but not cold calls for real eastat leads. But if you paid for the leads, I say take a chance. The truth can never lead you wrong

I haven't paid for a list yet but I might give it a shot. If nothing else, it'll be a learning experience.

That was my initial thought when I first read about it. Its one thing if the lead reaches out to you and you call them back but it's a bit different when you get their info from a list and then reach out to them randomly.

I mean, I wouldn't know because I've never done either lol but thats just what I thought when I first read it. Do you have experience calling potential leads?

That's interesting, @David Maradiaga! For some reason, I thought they might be a bit on the defensive receiving a call from a stranger with knowledge of their name and house. Maybe I should give it a shot. It's the best way to learn!
