Where do I get my list?

[Jorge De Jesus]

Hi BP!

Just wanted to share a tiny bit of insight into what my experience has been engaging in the forums, mainly in wholesaling.

I’ve met great people who have offered kind words and actionable steps, thank you @Bill Spell @Jay Hinrichs @Dave Chapa @Michael Pittman @Jerry Puckett and others...

I’ve had the chance to connect with others and share my experiences and offer different POV as well as receive footnotes on strategies, books, mindset... thank you @Account Closed @Laura Iannella @Mark Sewell @Barbara Gardner @Ken Nyczaj and others...

It’s been great to go from thinking I struggle with all these things alone to finding a community . I’ve actually taken this thinking over to  other forums, but that’s another diatribe for another time.

The problem I’m finding in Biggerpockets is the question I get asked the most: “Where do you get your list?”

I don’t mind sharing, but as most of you know I populate my own list and go from there. I put in hours in the seat and grind my face off.

The sense I get from this question is “show me the shortcut”. “I just got out of this bootcamp and I was told to buy a list and a mentor, why not both at the same time?”

Am I wrong in not wanting to feed the instant gratification crowd? Or should I have an answer ready for this question every time it comes in my inbox?

I really want to help, but if I tell people go figure it out, or think about it and try something outside the box, I never hear back from them.
