Driving for dollars vs pre foreclosure list
For those that drive for dollars, why do you choose this strategy instead of just paying for absentee, pre forecloseure etc lists? Is it effective for you? How much time do you dedicate to it?

@Alton Williams I think driving for dollars would come down to competitive advantage since it's not a list that multiple people are farming.
At the end of the day, most if not all lead sources work. It's just about consistency. Picking one, sticking to it, evaluating and reevaluating your results then tweaking and repeating until gold.
