I would also like to build my contact list for lenders and contractors.Any information or advice that I can get would be appreciated.William.

I just started placing adds on Craigslist to find sellers when putting an add is it good to have too much information or just keep it simple like I've seen them: we buy houses in any condition cash.

Thanks Brian for the really informative response. 

I have had several wells and the information is good that you get from them.

You won't really be learning anything about your market or about marketing if you buy "ready made" leads.Also, the more readily available information is the more likely it is that hundreds of other people already have that information. 

As far as lien goes, it's timeline specific as what @Wayne Brooks expressed, if you want educated opinion, you need to shell out more information.

Just like I tell other people in my industry(mechanic integrity inspection/NDE) that get discouraged because of the amount of information...I've coined this phrase btw.  

There is so much information I need to process right now.  

We do however inform new tenants to write "Wrong Address, Return To Sender" on the envelope and stick it back in the box--this should eventually make its way back to you if any mail slips through."

I listened to almost all podcasts and they definitely add a lot of flavor to the subject and are full of great but most of all actionable information.
