First step to find leads
What we all need in this business is leads this is the simplest answer but the most challenging aspect “finding a good lead” I have learned several ways to find good leads cold calling, D4D, direct mail,bandit signs etc.
As somewhat of a newbie to the real estate industry with a financial background I’m looking to purchase a property within the next 90 days but wanted to get some insight on the best way to go about that. Would it be best to master marketing or should I reach out to real estate agent for leads or should I continue to drive for dollars and submit offers
I have been educating myself for the past year and ready to put the education to action and get that first deal under my belt
