I am looking to get my first commercial property and negotiated a seller finance deal on a small auto shop that has all the equipment just not a tenant.

I’m curious whether lead‑generation strategies remain the same across these different market conditions.

QuickBooks is a better choice than spreadsheets because it connects directly to your bank feeds, automatically categorizes transactions, generates clean financial reports (P&L, balance sheet), and keeps everything audit-ready.

The key is having a CRM that tracks where each lead is in the sequence so you don't lose track.For inbound I've found that networking with probate attorneys, divorce attorneys, and local REI meetups generates the highest quality leads even if the volume is lower.

One thing I wish I knew earlier: focus on lead follow-up more than lead generation.

If rates continue drifting lower, limited inventory could once again put upward pressure on prices.Labor & Inflation Updates (Still Mixed)Initial jobless claims fell slightly to 209,000Continuing claims dropped to 1.83 million, though still elevatedDecember Producer Prices rose 0.5% month-over-month, hotter than expectedMost price pressure came from machinery and equipment margins — not broad inflationWhat’s the bottom line?

I'd also be curious how many visitors were "one and dones" and didn't generate much at all in the way of nightly stay income.

It mirrors the original post almost too perfectlyThe reply restates the other person’s points in a structured, almost textbook way“I agree” → “Here’s my experience” → “Here’s the takeaway.”That symmetry is very common in AI generated responses. 3.

@Jeremy Belandi completely agree with you , the biggest challenge in markets now is not closing deals but to get high quality prequalified consistent leads , and that's my main focus right now , building an entire system not only for lead generation (which you can get online easily even for cheap) but an entire system proven to guarantee good amount of prequalified leads combine cold calling with List pulling, dialer setup, skip tracing, SMS outreach , with trained enough team you can make sure the leads are mostly off market , sellers interested to sell , Asking price is lower than market price , Motivation ,Condition . 

I was at the home end of December related to a water leak issue and the last time I was there they tried to avoid having me in the home- boyfriend came out to give me the equipment I was returning.
