Yes, they do give out information, but because no one learns real estate, all those "students" can do is follow step by step what they have been told, pretty much the blind leading the blind. 

However that was only one persons advice so that's what lead me here so I can learn from people much more experienced in this then myself. 

Obviously, I know I need to provide them something of value if they are bringing me potential leads.  

I haven’t had a lot of luck finding buyers to market deals to and wondering if I should wholesale elsewhere.I’ve used lead generation services, such as Zbuyer, ListSource, RealtyStore, and a few others with very little luck.

They can be very handy for drawing up agreements and tracking your leads.

Save my contact info, when you find a property you're interested in, I can let you know the lead paint status and what needs to be done to make it legal.

I get leads from new wholesalers every now and then, and they rehabs are almost always tens of thousands of dollars more than they say, or the ARV is tens of thousands less than they say.  

And the city has silly stuff like "Partners for Good Housing" (IIRC), and the lead dust rules. 

I've built a new lead generation network and am ready to turn it up.

The only thing that happened is that I received a check for $350 for helping someone with a lead on a house, but they paid me by check and it was made out to me and not my LLC.
