Alert!!! Buyers list for sale online??? W-T-#&%@

[Rob Rice]

Hey BP Family. I recently placed an ad on c-----list for a property I'm trying to wholesale in an area where I have no buyers list.  

I received an email that said the following.

"Cash buyer lists and motivated seller lists for sale. Email me for more details."

Of course this peaked my interest. (I thought this should be good.)

I replied, "whatcha got?"

I received the following message. (I copied and pasted it just as it came.) Here it is:

So we have a software program that goes through property records and finds all the people that have being buying property for cash. It also does the same for vacant properties or distress sellers. The lists go buy zip codes. The cash buyers list cost $150 it will tell you everybody you bought two properties or more in that zip code this year. The vacant property list is a $75 it updates around ever month. Give me an idea what you are looking for and I will tell you how many people are on that list.

Thanks,

I was blown away. I'm not mad at someone for trying to make a buck, but I just want our BP Family to know, (Especially the newbies) that you can find the same buyers list off of the MLS. Just get an agent you know, or become friends with an agent to pull the same buyers criteria for you. I don't recommend spending $150 bucks for it. I mean, think about it....If you have spent all that time and energy to lock a deal up that you need a buyer for, I think you have the knowledge and skill set to get the buyers on your own.

As for the list of vacant houses... I do see some value in that especially if the information is current. I would really like to know if anyone has used one of these services, and what kind of data did they get.

I'm going to dig a little deeper into this and let you guys know.

Please comment: We need to know this for our BP Family.
