Hey @Amy Ranae,This would depend on the type of leads you're targeting - sellers for retail/end user buyers, distressed sellers, probate/divorce sellers, etc.Generally, I'd recommend - Cold calling, postcards, social media advertising and SEO marketing (this will take the longest amount of time to yield results).

On the bright side, you're noticing this at 23 instead of going through 5,10,20 yrs without fulfillment.As far as strategies are concerned, I'd recommend the House-hack strategy, BRRRR strategy, or a combination of the two.Given that NYC is an expensive market with high rents, many folks choose the house-hack strategy where they can:- significantly lower their current living costs - get into their first deal with as little as 3-3.5% down- occupy 1 of the property's units for 1-2 years- gain acquisition, project management, and property management experience- refinance and move onto the next property and begin cashflowing on property #1- rinse and repeatI hope this helps...Best of luck to you moving forward!

High equity, absentee and vacancies are very common and everyone mails them.Maybe go to a local courthouse to pull recent divorce filings or eviction filings to target what may be tired landlords, though for all I know you can buy those lists as well.Let me add to this handsome feller's response.You should look into SEO leads.There is nothing better than a lead that is eagerly wanting to sell to YOU... so much so that they are the ones looking for you instead of you looking for them.People chase me, hunt me and harass me non-stop to please come by and make them an offer.Those leads are called inbound leads, and when you get these you will be shocked how different it all is compared to outbound leads.

I've also used a combination of HELOC and cash on subsequent BRRRRs.A HELOC is a great option imo and is likely going to be your second least expensive option because of its low rates and interest only payments.

This will likely keep interest rates lower, for longer, resulting in more attractive financing terms and more buyer demand (which, combined with supply constraints, generally means higher prices).
