I am not too certain on which specific strategies I would like to learn more about.

Let me know if you have specific questions and good luck in your search. 

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

What specific details do you look for in a lead (e.g., financial info, property condition)?

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post.
