@Sandeep Dhall I'm curious what you mean by bad data. 

Here's an inside scoop:

- Assessor data - Generally, most platforms get their data from the same or very similar data aggregators. The data aggregators get their data from local assessors so the risk is that the assessor is not updating their information timely. 

- MLS data - This is challenging to get now that the MLS has cracked down on offering it to non-MLS platforms. Therefore, most use third parties to get this.

- Specialty data - Preforeclosure, tax liens, evictions, etc. are always lagging data. Again, this info is received when recorded so it's not always timely. I always recommend that investors get this info from the county departments to get the most up-to-date info.

For marketing, I don't think you should focus on what works the best because that is very subjective. When starting out, I would rather you focus on a marketing approach that you will be consistent with for 5-6 months. This will ensure the highest probability of success for you. Also, as a direct mail "expert", I would say that direct mail works well when done properly. I don't recommend that investors send mail to everyone, but really hone in on their best quality prospects to send direct mail to.

@Jacob Cuellar I would start by thinking about what form of marketing you can consistently do for 5-6 months. Most all marketing approaches work but the #1 most important thing is that you need to be consistent. I generally think about this from the perspective of time vs. money. If you have more time than money, do cold calling, door knocking, etc. If you have more money than time, o direct mail, PPC, etc.

Whatever you choose, be consistent. 

From there, you can source prospects lists from data providers and through manual sources. Here are some lists you can pull from data providers:

- Absentee, Equity, Related party, Trust, Preforeclosure, Vacants, Deceased

Here are some manual lists you can pull from your county:

- Tax liens, Fire houses, Evictions

I would recommend you pull some of the above lists, identify which properties are on multiple lists and start hitting those properties.
