Trying to build a buyer's list- Help!

[Shawday Bentley]

Hello BP members!

I work with a real estate investment firm here in Memphis, and I am also a licensed Realtor. I have no problem finding deals, however right now I am finding it hard to find QUALIFIED buyers.
It seems like the people who are absolutely starving to purchase, are not able to.

What are some tips for building a strong and/or large buyer's list? I would really appreciate ANY tips I can get! I am even open to working with a third party who has leads and charges a fee.

Thank you :D
