There’s also many other free lead generation tactics.

Those programs do generate revenue, but by no stretch of the imagination, are they laying golden eggs.   

@Mel HarsH i have done BRRRR a few times. i am not a mortgage broker. how i understand it is, it’s all about your monthly obligations not necessarily the fact you owe 300k on a duplex. that’s how they calculate DTI, based on monthly obligations. most will give you 75% of what you make in rental income as credit on top of any income you already have. so if you have a good cash flowing rental and they are giving you 75% of your rental income as credit to your income and you only need to be below about 45% DTI it is doable. furthermore, if you are buying another place, usually they will give you 75% of the income the new place generates even though you don’t even own it yet.

UBTI can generate tax rates topping out at 37%. 

My goal with this post is to generate leads that I can then analyze get a feel for prices and different neighborhoods.

The cat unit generates about $13,000.00 worth of product a minute, it is supposed to run non-stop. 

Reducing price even half doesn't help ..its the income property needs to generate.

As a novice investor like my self who has never tried direct mail I'm struggling to pick a direction for lead generation.

@Robert Collins, I agree with what @Trevor Ewen mentions and think of AirBnB as the following:Assuming you can rent your property as a 12 month rental or chose to use AirBnBPros:  Generate higher yields in the short term, creates flexibility for your property if you also like to use it.Cons:  More management overhead, cashflow could be unpredictable, higher property wear and tear, economically more dependent, on the hook for utiltilies (internet & cable) and upfront furnishing costs.If you are taking an arbitrage strategy where you are renting from a landlord and then creating a spread. 

I guess there are two other considerations: (1) a lot of time and effort goes into lead generation and (2) these sellers don't want to be passed off to other buyers.
