How do I separate good leads from bad leads?

Then you may have a lead to buy once either the will or probate has run it's course straight from the heirs.  

I know In California for residential properties you need a transfer disclosure statement, lead based paint, natural hazards, etc...but what about for vacant land? 

For those that do have this knowledge, NPNs can still be difficult to create a windfall for yourself, even with a background of getting these properties to perform.I'm an expert on performing notes and not NPNs, so I'll let someone else lead the discussion on the ins-and-outs of that business model.Thanks!

Hey San Diego investors,Last week I took my first (baby) steps into the REI world by asking folks how to run down a couple of leads I have.

This doesn't happen overnight, and when you attend a networking event, I find it almost incredulous that many feel that the first time you meet someone that person is going to tell you all their secrets, give you leads, referrals, etc.
