For these lead types at least even the big brokers and prominent software platforms are buying either directly or indirectly from the gov department creating the records.

This platform on Bigger Pockets is a great source of information where you can ask questions and also learn from other investor questions.

Hey Robert, What platform are you using for emails?

Chiefly Im looking at it from a tax benefit stand point, but also want to make sure the principal investment is secure as possible.

I have not looked in any particular platform nor have I looked at the monetary return on selling electricity.

This is truly an excellent platform for networking and establishing connections.

It's awesome to have hybrid agent/investors on the platform like you, and to see the value that you add to the forums gives back to you, in turn, as an investor and as an agent. 

You don’t just need a general admin—you need someone who understands tenant turnover, screening multiple tenants per unit, handling lease coordination, and managing communication between roommates (which can get messy fast).A solid VA for this model should be able to:Screen inquiries and prequalify tenants based on house rules.Manage listings on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, and Roomster.Coordinate move-ins/move-outs and track leases for each tenant.Handle maintenance requests and keep an eye on potential conflicts between tenants.Chase rent payments if needed.If you’re thinking about hiring one, I’d focus on VAs with property management or co-living experience—not just someone who has worked in real estate generally.

For real estate agents, the best way to meet leads is organically and by referral.The challenge is it isn't always easy to just "meet" other investors organically and find a mentor, but I'd suggest using this platform for all its worth.

I’ve been using platforms like Investorlift and FlexMLS to break down deals and run the numbers, and I’m always looking for ways to optimize my strategy.Right now, I’m particularly interested in South Carolina as an investment market, and I’d love to connect with others who have experience there.
