[Daniel Ortiz]

Hi everyone at Bigger Pockets, My name is Daniel and I am a new investor from Los Angeles, CA. I was recently convinced to buy a real estate investing program that I saw on Facebook. I bought it, I learned non stop and finally launched my entire "we buy houses" business. The problem is, I haven't generated a single lead like the program promised me. I started a website which I SEO'd to get it to the top of Google. Now I want to start a bandit sign campaign, which after everything will cost me about $100. I also want to do direct mailing. I got a list of NOD's from an agent that has been helping me out. The thing with direct mailing, is that in order to send to a good amount of people(500+) it will run me upwards of $500. Have any of you found success with a certain lead source? Is there any advice you could give me? I could really appreciate any help. I am desperately trying to succeed and provide for my family. Thank you

use your creativity, try not to do what everyone else is doing....that's where all the competition is. It will work in time, but will take longer as its all a numbers game. Knocking on doors sucks! But it works. Try to get lists that most won't/can't get access too....like tall grass citations. The harder to get the list of leads the less competition from other investors. Look at what areas you are marketing in also, opportunity is problems with a red bow tied on it. Good luck! Persistence is key, and don't be afraid to try new things
