Hey Jerry, Have you tried property Radar? 


 Hey Im checking it out. 

https://tppr.me/rVU8k

I didnt understand the breakdown of services. With the complete package, do you get 10,000 property records (from filtered location searches)? And since we use a calling app, we need the numbers exported. How much would it cost to export numbers? I see something like 250/8¢ which doesn't make sense, can you help with that? 

What features do you like about it compared to others?

Hi @Jerry Villa, you should be able to build this list in ListSource. You can narrow it down by some of those features.


I have used some other list generation systems, but I wasn't familiar you can focus on Condos? is that the case with ListSource? Thanks!

We're currently calling lists and getting decent results with the leads. From what I can see, none are for Condos and mainly for detached homes, some townhomes, and some lots. I have a friend who would like to purchase condos (primarily in west coast), how can I go about getting lists of Condo Owners to call and even better those that qualify for our lists now like absentee owners, high equity, foreclosure, motivated seller like qualities? 
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks

 Hi Nicole, this has been very useful, glad to see meetings starting to happen in person, heading to another tonight and following up with private meetings afterwards. Thanks for the input!

Flipster was doing great for us with getting us leads WITH phone numbers and emails. Then this last week or so when getting updated lists their lead system was so buggy and didn't including numbers and emails. After going back and forth with support with the issues, including NOT every mentioning the new updates do not include numbers/emails until a week later when I talked with cancelation person. 

Which they still list on their site as providing it: https://flipstersoftware.com/

LeadSherp is about $0.15 (which I can use with Flipster and PropStream leads). But you have to account for the cost of all the platforms also. 

Flipster: $97 (basic) we were paying $197 for more leads. Skip Trace: $0.10 (paid in bulk)

PropStream: $99 and additional costs. Skip Trace $0.12 

Im looking to update our process with lead generation, either with a single app or an app and then other skip tracing tool. 

Questions: What is everyone else using for lead gen tools? Is there any better systems out there that does include Skip Trace info? What skip tracing system are you using and best rates?

Hey Jake, just got SendInBlue setup and sent out a first batch... their site has been really buggy lately though. Having to do a lot of back and forth with support. 
Update: actually it was just a short time error. Now to test out what works and doesn't work (A/B Testing). 👍

Hey Jake, thanks for the response. I will work on that then. Our lists of leads are 1000s big and each having email, we know conversion will be low but want to squeeze whatever response/business we can from them. So you prefer SendinBlue more than others like Mailchimp and such?

Has anyone ever sent emails to Motivated Sellers Lead Lists?
These are not filtered leads but our initial Skiptracing lists. 
Do you use any email marketing management system, since some of these lists can be into the 1000s?
What sort of approach do you guys use? 

Im doing pretty decent getting interest from sellers with my lead generation efforts and now looking to network and meet people doing Wholesaling (Acquisition and Disposition) in Texas area, right now in Houston, South Texas(Corpus Christi) and soon later area. Any recommendations on how to connect with others in those areas?

Post: Looking for Stories of Retired Fixed Income SS starting in REI

Need help to demonstrate to loved ones that their situation is not the end.

I have some family members who are near or into retirement age on fixed income, collecting social security, and dont have much or any assets. I told them they can still get into Real Estate Investment but I get push back. One in particular tells me if they make any income it would hurt their social security benefits. Im not knowledgable about this area but Im sure theres some truths in that. These are people who, in their 20-30s (I can recall) were all about the Anthony Robbins & Robert Kiyosaki mindset so I'll often challenge them saying "Would Tony let you say defeatist stuff like that? Would you tell Robert you can't find ways to make money?" That often doesn't sit well with them :-)

Yes I know I can't teach a new dog new tricks but I feel we're in times where a lot of people are overwhelmed with debt and gloom, on the other hand we also live in times where we have so many resources to do amazing things. This is where I wanted to see if anyone knows of any of the following that I can use as a resource for these family members. I'm sure many, even most, might not be moved by it but I want to do my part. Looking specifically for those retired who just like a young person who has no assets/capital got into REI from scratch:

  • Books
  • Blogs
  • YouTube Videos/Channels
  • Online Groups
  • Advice
  • etc

I understand existing information that is available out there for those starting in REI is not age specific and universal, but I did want to address the unique challenges that maybe those retired face, I'm sure they have their experiences that I dont know about.
