In the world of commercial real estate, especially for those of us involved in wholesaling, hard money lending, and larger commercial transactions, finding truly qualified leads can be one of the toughest parts of the job.Unlike traditional real estate, commercial deals require a more complex understanding of financing, deal structure, and the unique needs of clients—many of whom are investors looking for specific ROI targets.
