How Investors Find Deals

How do investors find distressed sellers?

Investors find distressed sellers through six core channels — public records, direct mail, digital ads, cold calling, driving for dollars, and done-for-you lead generation. The last one is the only one that scales without trading your time.

The six ways

Six ways investors find distressed sellers

Every channel has trade-offs — cost, time, scale and quality all vary.

Public records & listsTax delinquency, NODs and probate filings — public, cheap, competitive.
Direct mailHigh volume, low response, typically 1–2% return.
Digital adsGoogle and Facebook can generate inbound leads — if your budget holds.
Cold callingEffective but labor-intensive — 300-500 dials per meaningful conversation.
Driving for dollarsSpot vacant or distressed homes on your own time.
Done-for-you lead genA partner handles sourcing, calling and QA. You work deals.
The difference

What sets done-for-you apart

The other five channels require your time. This one requires your criteria.
