Hi @Jeff Fairchild, if you're looking to buy leads, remember that real estate will always be a local thing - if you're looking to buy across the nation and have the systems in place to support that, that's one thing; but if, as you said, you're looking for leads in your specific farm area(s), buying leads may be a challenge as a pure function of volume.
