Has anyone used the company Realeflow to generate leads?

Nevada is a good state for that and you can probably do the filing yourself without needing one of the online services.Good luck with your plan.

I'm guessing the bandit signs and mass mailing to absentee owners will be the biggest lead generators.Also thinking about issuing some short term hard money loans.

I would hire that out.     3) The closing cost I found an estimate online.

Check out the lenders listed on Scotsman Guide and Private Lender Link: Those are the top two resources for Borrowers and Lendershttps://www.scotsmanguide.com/Residential/LenderSe...https://privatelenderlink.com/You can shop your deal, and see which lender provides the best rates for you.And meet with other investors at local REIAs.Ask them which Lenders they are using.Title Companies can pull a list of recent closings that show Mortgages funded by Private Individuals.REWW.com's system that lets you pull lists of recent Private Money Lender closings, and some of those leads have phone numbers.

My main source to generate leads for the past 3 months has been probate.

There are some low cost online PM companies and flat fee structures out there.

What first steps do I take to get potential leads?

I first got the idea to start my own buisness before i stumbled apon real estate so it lead me to a fork in the road.

But, my experience with very similar process projects leads me to be pretty confident in what I said above.
