Why do gurus push Driving For Dollars?

I spent 80 hours Driving For Dollars and calling that list. I also spent 80 hours calling other lists (probate/pre foreclosure/tired landlords).

When calling, I got the same results. So I actually got better results with non Driving For Dollars lists because I didn’t spend that whole 60 hours driving around writing down addresses.

Also, I noticed that motivations for Driving for Dollars leads were the motivations for other lists (house going into pre foreclosure… mother died, it went through probate and is now vacant… etc). Wouldn’t they show up on standard PropStream lists? Or are PropStream lists missing data?

So why do gurus (Brent Daniels, Flip With Rick) push Driving For Dollars? I even use to hear Brandon Turner push Driving For Dollars on newbies quite a bit.

The competition also appears to be exactly the same. When I went on Driving For Dollars appointments compared to Tired Landlords PropStream list appointments, both seemed to have only a couple of competitors. So the NUMBER OF COMPETITORS for my Driving For Dollars list and my PropStream lists were EXACTLY THE SAME.

I’m seeing plenty of pre foreclosures, probates, people relocating for work, tired landlords, etc on BOTH LISTS (Driving For Dollars and non Driving For Dollars). So I know that lack of motivation is NOT AN ISSUE.
