Hi.

The honest answer is that yes, you are getting in your own way. Finding buyers is the easy part. I only sell to 5 buyers and that keeps things clean, efficient, and effective. They know if I bring them a property it's a deal. You need to focus on finding properties. THAT'S the hard part. Find a niche within the industry and learn as much about it as you can, then try to locate motivated sellers...always try to solve a real pain. No pain, no problem, no profit.

Hello any and every one that is reading this post.

First, I am NOT trying to pitch you anything, sell you anything, subscribe to anything, join anything, etc. All I’m requesting is some honest feedback on a survey. Its five simple questions, and it should not take more than 60 seconds.

I’m debating on scaling my lead generation business so, I need to figure out if there is enough interest in this aspect of the industry.

After years of blood, sweat, and LOTS and LOTS of cursing at the data, I finally figured out how to manipulate the data in way that creates real value for the real estate industry. This is not your "typical" lead generation, the data is not easy to obtain nor is it easily manipulated, but, the conversion ratios are FAN-TAS-TIC...SERIOUSLY. I don't have the time or the patience to bullsh@t.

Thank you

In fact, the leads converted so well that I don’t even pay for my own marketing anymore. I have a serious investor who pays for all my marketing and we split the deals. It’s the best arrangement ever…and we have actually become friends.

So, if you have the time to spare, I would seriously appreciate you taking the survey and if you are ever in the Tampa Bay area, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Hi,

I'm in St. Pete, and I have lived in the Tampa Bay area my entire life. If you have any questions about the area, don't hesitate to ask.

Hey Jeff, I've meet you awhile ago at the beach REIA.

I'm not talking about marketing material. I'm talking about actual leads. I create my own lead lists. My conversion ratios blow everyone else's away. Seriously, I know the numbers and what the average is per mailer, mine are double. I have the software developed to expand to other counties, so, I'm trying to gauge if there is an interest from other "investors/wholesalers" in other parts of the state. If there is, I'll invest the capitol to expand.

Hi everyone

I’m Fred, I live in the Tampa Bay area…St. Petersburg to be exact.

I wholesale properties within three counties; Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee.

I’ve been doing this for numerous years and have zero desire to rehab/flip properties. I’m an “in and out” kind of guy. I like low risk and low stress.

I’m not here to pitch any properties. I joined because I’m looking to get some insight from a vetted community of real estate investors on what they think about qualified lead generation. I’m currently contemplating on scaling my business so, I’d like to hear what other people have to say, and what their pains are when it comes to this aspect of the industry. I have no use for leads that are not in my trade zone.

Anywho…thanks for taking the time to read my introduction if please feel free to contact me at any time and look forward to becoming part of the community.

Thank you.
