Preforeclosure Leads through RE Agents??
Hello BP friends..
I have studied REI for the past year and have decided that I would like to pursue PF's and dominate this stratigy first before moving to other ways of investing.
As a beginner, I have found it very difficult to be successful in landing any deals, mainly because my leads are not strong at all.
I have been door-knocking on PreForeclosures for the past few months and it has lead me nowhere.
I have been cursed, yelled at, invited in for visits by seemingly lonely people, and listened to many rants about crooked banks, terrible family members, ex's , etc. But not one decent lead on getting a deal.
I have gotten all of my PF leads from Zillow, auction.com, and from CL ads I placed offering help to anyone facing Foreclosure.
After listening to a number of Podcasts and YT videos, Ive come to realize that maybe my best bet for decent PF leads would be from a RE Agent!?
Could any of you confirm this or maybe you have a better way?
Any and all advice, and info will be very much appreciated.
I do hope to meet & connect with local REI's in the Missoula, Montana area (where I am) and any investors anywhere that leans more towards creative investing over flipping & fixing, and wholesaling.
Thank you very much! 😁
