I have an MBA from Pepperdine University and prior experience as a software and database developer.

Ways to effectively and efficiently connect with insurance companies and adjusters to get into their databases and networks.

The first thing I do is  take a look there, most info is at least 2 years old. so you have an idea about the area if you cannot drive it.I,ve found so far Wichita county has friendly databases to get tax information, appraisals, and map information.

One time I paid peoplefinder.com a few dollars to get a bunch of addresses much faster.It took a while to do this but there were only about 40 of them and then I put the addresses and properties in an Access database.

Many counties offer online access to their databases.

My arguments are data based.

@Justin ClementsYour best leads will come from your database.

While doing that, build your investor database, so when you get one, you can wholesale.

My local board that provides the MLS database is far more expensive, coming in at over $800+ a year in dues.

If nothing else, search your states criminal history and court records databases, those are usually cheap or a few bucks.
