Finding leads for purchasing houses.
Good morning everyone, I was trying to get some ideas about how to generate more leads for people selling their houses. We mostly buy in the southside of Chicago. Yard signs and craigslist is what I use now, TV commercials and other media outlets are too expensive for me. Would love to hear some other ideas.
