ADVICE

Prioritize Cold Calling With AI-Filtered Lists

  • Use cold calling as your primary, consistent lead source instead of relying only on seasonal channels like PPC.
  • Stack niche lists and use DealMachine's AI to prioritize the most motivated sellers for higher contact-to-deal rates.
ADVICE

Hunt Niche, Hard-To-Pull Lists

  • Target harder-to-pull niche lists like fire-damaged properties, tired landlords, water shutoffs, and code violations to find less-competitive motivated sellers.
  • The rarer the list, the higher your chance of repeatable deals because fewer competitors know how to pull them.
ADVICE

Get Fire-Damage Lists From The Fire Marshal

  • Contact the local fire marshal and request their fire-damage records or ask how to obtain them under public-record rules.
  • If they don't know how to pull it, ask who in the department can provide or export the list for you.
