Building a huge buyers list

[Tim Cook]

I'd like to see how many Buyers List ideas/tips we can get published here for us all to benefit from.  I'll start off with this idea.  

Better Business Bureau (BBB) - Have you thought of using your BBB to build your list? Google your local BBB and search on Investors, real estate investing, real estate investor, home buyers, house buyers etc and see what pulls up.  The other benefit of pulling from this resource is that they may be a little more serious about the business if they are paying to be listed on the BBB.  Just a thought...

Who's next?

I have a huge buyers list. I have over 22,000 buyers in a couple counties surrounding mine. I gathered my list by aggregating county databases and using APIs. My buyers buy in different asset classes of all types like condos, lots, land, RES etc. My favorite thing to do to see if they are real buyers is display their recent year portfolio of properties and their funding source on a map like the one below. This let me know if they use cash or not so I know how I need to talk to the seller. Having a huge buyers list is a great idea because I find buyers in the area before I even lock the deal up. It takes less than 3 calls to move a property.
