Getting leads

[Chris Wyatt]

Hi, I'm a new real estate investor in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I'm just looking to get started with my first deal. (and yes I'm scared :D) I've been to a couple bootcamps now and was bombarded with every guru's system to buy to help me in my business. Yet I really don't have much money to spend on that yet. I mean I could spend a few thousand dollars on getting mailing lists, and sending out letters or postcards and spend a few more thousand setting up websites and such too. But I do have some money to spend that I can afford. My question is where is the best place to spend that little money I have to get my phone ringing? I figure after a deal or two, I'd be able to put that money toward more marketing campaigns.

Now I have been checking websites everyday, of REO's, craigslist, foreclosures, and gotten a few leads. But you know, I can only spend so much time on those and call those sellers, that its hard to even do my day job.

So any cheap ways of marketing, please let me know!

Chris
