Probably insurance companies don’t like it when you hire the people or try to fix it yourself. They may use that as a reason to not pay it really depends on the circumstances

Yeah you definitely should look into the northern part of the county or down in Ventura prices in Santa Barbara and Goleta are way to high you’ll have a better return on investment elsewhere. Santa Barbara is good for master leasing though

Hello everyone I’ve spent a lot of my time doing courthouse research and direct mailing. I have built a good system from it. My system allows me to be the first person in the county to get to various types of leads. What I do is a I go to the courthouse at first thing in the morning when it opens get all the preforclosure leads for my county and then I Go and hand write and wax seal some letters and then send them out to those leads same day. I’ve spent whole days in the courthouse and I’ve never seen someone else come in and grab these leads. This puts me in a competitive advantage in that I get to be the first person messaging those leads. I want to use this as a way of bird dogging where I find and sell the lead and do the mailing for investors and agents. I only sale each lead once. How much would investors or agents pay for this kind of service?

I’ve felt something similar for legal advice from attorneys.
