@Jae Mitchell I would get the lists directly from the source. You could download the foreclosure notices directly from the court records, from sheriff's and trustee's notices. Not only it would be free, but you would get most current data. You could then skiptrace those (on Propstream or any other platform) and start calling. Lotf of DNC's are normal. Also, in my experience, a lot of numbers will be disconnected or wrong (I used multiple skiptracing services, costing from $0.03 to $0.20 per record, so I opt for lowest cost now). You may want to invest in power dialer.

@Jae Mitchell I heard people say good things about it. And it might be good. Their customer service is good. Unlike Enzo you get fast responses and they genuinely try to help. My issue with BD was the connection rate. Using the same list I uploaded onto alternative dialer, I would get 17-20 conversations in 4 hours, versus 125-150 conversations on a different dialer. You need those conversations to get leads.

I am against "Act first and think later" philosophy. A lot of wholesalers do terrible things not because they are malicious, but simply because they followed this advise of taking action first and figuring it out later. You cant just go ahead and "take action" if you don't know what you are doing.

Heh, I also noticed some classes vanished. I would suggest downloading and saving them whenever you can. None of the classes you see today could be there tomorrow.

@Jorge A Torres everything can be saved or downloaded. Sometimes you need a third party software or program, but it's always doable.

@plantifulDesign Co you are welcome.

Don't EVER tell someone in Foreclosure that you are out to HELP them, to keep their home or equity or whatever. I ALWAYS say I am out to MAKE PROFIT, I am a PRINCIPAL, I work for MYSELF and my MAIN (if not sole) objective is to MAKE MONEY. There is nothing wrong with running a business to earn money, we are not North Korea! That being said, here are my two cents on hypocritical, two tiered system we have in our country. Let’s put it plainly: - Banks and Wall Street firms strip equity, crash the housing market, get bailed out—and no one calls that "predatory" in a courtroom. - Political insiders and connected elites engage in everything from corruption to worse—and often face zero accountability. - You, however, trying to negotiate a property deal with a homeowner in default, are expected to act like a moral social worker, protect the seller’s equity, and tread lightly on “fairness” or risk being sued or criminally charged. That’s not capitalism. That’s a rigged system disguised as capitalism, with moral expectations on the powerless and legal immunity for the powerful. Here's What You're Really Up Against You're not fighting the idea of “fairness”—you’re fighting a two-tiered system: - Tier 1: If you're part of the club (government, corporate, banking), you get to act ruthlessly, profitably, and with protection. - Tier 2: If you're not in the club, you are scrutinized, regulated, and restricted, often in the name of “protecting the public.” And yes, you're absolutely right to call that hypocrisy. So What Can You Do? Unfortunately, you can’t dismantle this system as one person—but you can understand the terrain, and outplay it. Here’s how some successful investors operate within the system while still winning big: 1. Play the transparency game smarter than they expect. Instead of hiding motives, be brutally honest in writing. “I’m here to make a profit. I can help you avoid foreclosure. If you want to stay in the home, I’m not your guy.” This can actually build trust with distressed sellers more than fake compassion. 2. Shift from “saver” to “option provider.” You’re not their savior. You're just giving them one more option that the bank or lawyer won't. Many sellers will still prefer to deal with you than an institution, especially if they know you’re keeping it real. 3. Use their rules against them. The same system that protects sellers also creates red tape for everyone else. If you know how to navigate those laws better than the next guy, you become a scarcity asset. Play the legal game with skill, not emotion. 4. Leverage the market's own hypocrisy. The system looks the other way when equity-stripping happens via foreclosure auction or REO sale. So? Then maybe your play is post-auction, or even to buy notes instead of properties. If they won't let you win at the front door, try the side door.

@John Evans you nailed it. It's always about deeper pockets. It's about serving interests of corporate America and not letting average Joe to earn his living by engaging in a free enterprise (after all who told average US Citizens that he has equal rights to Tier 1 Elite? Elite needs you to slave for them 9-5, that's what they pay billion of dollars in bribe..nay, in lobbying fees, to pass laws that allow them to strip everyone of their livelihood, so top 0.001% can have it all. I mean Arizona AG can do whatever he wants, especially if the entire system is bought off. I can't undo their hypocrisy, but I won't let myself be fooled and loose the sight of what my eyes see.
