Hey BP Community,I’m curious to know what tools and strategies everyone is using for lead generation these days.

Welcome to the community Sandy!

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.

@Mike TikhTo choose a property, consider personal preferences, lifestyle, climate, and community.
