wow, just to reiterate, THE TRUTH. I tell people who they are, what their credit score is and that people are selling me their information. Im buying because "I think you want ________ and I think I can help, if my info is wrong i will never call you again, IS it wrong?"

make it simple, the best thing u can do is weed out the "time stealers"

What can you afford per lead?
Do you have a lead capture page?

It says ur in Dallas thats a huge CL market, you should be able to create 1 lead per2 post IF you are not getting ghosted by craigslist. Post your ads mid day and sunday and post 5 in 20 mins if you have 5 properties, (some people fudge and post other properties and say they dont have that house anymore but thats a bad way to start off)

After you post google "free public proxy" and surf the internet through there and go back to craigslist and search through post and see if you see ur ads, i bet you wont, clist is sneaky.

If you do make sure u have a SIMPLE opt in page form hooked to a auto responder (or much better customer management software) And keep hitting the list. In dallas u should be able to get 2-3 a day per clist account. IF you learn clist, WHICH ISNT EASY, you can get 10+ a day with a couple accounts... You can even hire foreigners to post if u do it right, about 15 cent a post. But it takes some time and patience, if you do not have that I would not start.

It only seems like a good idea months down the road when u have a database, so don't worry if it seems not awesome for now, it will be. Once you get a list you can bribe others with a list in ur area and double your action!

Big boys are totally beatable 100 times over..when it comes to buyer side. One thing I do is buy a list of people who have had there credit pulled by a mortgage company that ALSO have criteria that tells me they would be a good prospect for me and create "purls" they are domains, for example bob smiths purl would be bobsmith.yourwebsite.com (all done automatically) and slap that bad boy on a 50 cent postcard and mail to people based on zip codes. "hey bob, do you still want to own your own home? I made this website for you bobsmith.yourwebsite.com . It may sound like a lot but after a time or two its easier and cheaper than alot of other things. Soon you can have a database with lots of folks and use "refer a friend" links like .yoursite.blank/make100bucks/bobsmith that people will refer friends.

I think the best way (buyers) is to find the ones who are not fully qualified and are not getting chased if you know what to do with them, this is simple when it comes to the data I mentioned above. These people trip over things to call us back, no one else is saying yes...

I have used every lead company under the sun and finally figured it out when I started creating my own leads using classified ads that link to my sites that create leads and put them into crm software to always follow up, there are some great lead management softwares that call the lead (all automated) and filter out tire kickers. I have my lead cost down to 60 cent for a person who fills out a 23 page questionnaire. I have only one company provide good consistent leads over the years. They require a good sales pitch but at least you know the generators are honest. I cant say name (no affiliation) but if its allowed I could share via PM. Good luck.

ps. the one thing people do that seems to be a money pit in the beginning is google ad words, if you know you can pay 20$ for a good lead its ok but first you have to have a good page ( i know a great way to build one). Sometimes you can hit it right out of the gate but alot of times its a tuff road.

Yes im investing in real estate and I am looking to eventually buy wholesale and offer my same prospects a home in addition to my other services. For now im interested in having a dialogue with people who wholesale so that I may learn more, any help finding those people would awesome, but if not thats cool too. Im still trying to fit in this in between working 16 hours a day.

Thanks

Any operations out there that put a high value on a pre-sold customer with a credit profile and income situation[b] that makes them a good risk to put in a rent to own situation?

My people will put down good money and pay extra each month to own, I just need properties to sell them on.
