Hey everyone, i've been doing some research on where i can get leads targeting absentee owners, pre foreclosures and etc.. Ive been wholesaling for almost one month now and have completed 1 deal and now in the middle of my 2nd but i honestly feel like i just got lucky with those. I think cold calling is a great way to contact property owners and i will continue to do that. Only thing is that im unsure on where to find more leads! I just created a website through carrot and now because i have some extra $ from my deal i want to buy a list of leads! WHAT DOES MY FELLOW BIGGER POCKETS FRIENDS SUGGEST?????
