I have collected a nice amount of leads from obituaries and plan on marketing to them.

Being forward, this is my first post on Biggerpockets, and yes, I do work for Meridian, as our Key Accounts Manager.Biggerpockets has become a fantastic forum for investors, vendors and turnkey operators, so I thought I could use this stream to help clarify some of the concerns mentioned about programs like ours.For some context, I actually came to Meridian as an internet lead turned investor over 4 years ago and liked their business model so much, I came to work for them.The program we offer is actually a Rental Warranty, not a guarantee, which is a big difference.

I'm finding that the mls doesnt have the leads and off market seems to be the way to go.Thats my story , and i'm hoping that bp can help myself and if it happens a partner to increase our real estate income.Good luckErika

You know sometimes I go to eviction court to get new leads.

I won't even waste the time to look at REOs that are over a week old.Our best leads come from direct contact with motivated sellers (via direct mail, PPC, etc.).

I am doing direct mail marketing to absentee owners (and possibly bandit signs again in the future) to generate leads.

@Jonathan Jimenez , thanks for the lead to the local meetup, I'll join it if I can.

Any leads from that ?

What are you doing to generate leads?

The blind leading the blind usually ends badly.
