Logan Freeman got a lead from his consulting business, a customer of his had been a patron of the hardware store that occupied the building.

(No affiliation other than as customer)

I also have a customer of mine that is an investor, and have had a few lunch meetings with him. 

Unless your replacing every floor in the house with custom italian marble, that price is absurd. 

Or should the customer that purchased the property pay the initial tenant placement fee? 

If your state/locality ties the utility payment to the home, not the customer, then you are allowed to receive copies of the bills. 

Mainly passive after you own if but tons of due diligence upfront. 

There are certainly times when this offering will better meet a customer's need who might otherwise consider storage but self storage also has several advantages that differentiate it from on demand type services.

It turns out they're no longer receiving Foreclosure/NOD info from the county (at least where I live), so all they have is generic homeowner leads--not a good investment.I'm looking for a suitable replacement, that a) doesn't cost too much more (ie. under 50 cents per lead)b) specifically offers NOD and/or pre-NOD (preferably both) with custom zip codes and other criteriaThe ones I've come across that fit this are:- Consumer Data Leads (CDL)- www.yellowlettercomplete.com *- www.yellowletterhq.com ** Note: I plan to create my own yellow letters (as it's cheaper than having them pre-made), but these websites also have options to buy leads.I'm curious, but also skeptical...none of these businesses will say exactly how these lists are obtained (from a broker, directly from the county, etc.).Anyone have experience with the ones cited above, or any others?

As if all this isn't bad enough, they don't work with conventional financing and steer customers towards using their own internal lender, which charges exorbitant rates.
