I know there are a few videos on youtube worth watching about how to generate your own leads and with minimal amount of money you can use options such as direct mail, signs, a website where distressed owners can input their information and it will relay them to your email. but definitely worth looking into.

With a property that brings in so much income, do we have the potential to have a fee less than 10%?
