You’ll get plenty of referrals and honest leads on my company. 

If you're still wondering, a lot of landlords prefer to use property management platforms because they are specifically designed for paying rent.

Ask what their company offers for ways to generate leads.

I continue to indulge myself in as much knowledge as possible (BP platforms being my #1 go to) so I can be as prepared as possible when the right opportunity presents itself.

Though I have learned that the deal I was looking for POF, is a bit of a dead lead without straight cash.

What am I missing in the process that leads to these properties being risky purchases at the online auction or from the MLS due to actionable liens?  

Depending on your strategy sites like those may be fine for some strategies, but for qualified leads you need better data or you'll spend much of your time running in circles.Also, even with the better data, it can be challenge reaching some distressed owners for  a litany of reasons.  

My question is, who here has left their 9-5 and had success or failure and can you give advice towards the what lead to your outcome?

laziness and misunderstanding of the BP platform.... they think it is facebook

Hi BP - I have a couple of leads on multi-family properties in the Denver Metro area that I am working on.
