Shownotes:If you're struggling to make more money in real estate, the problem may not be your finances—it may be your lead flow. Johnoson Crutchfield breaks down two strategies for consistently attracting real estate leads: networking and paying for leads. He explains why meeting more people can create more opportunities, from lenders and attorneys to contractors and other investors. He also shares practical ways to find local real estate meetups through Eventbrite, Meetup.com, Facebook groups, and other communities. For introverts, Johnoson emphasizes having a specific goal when attending meetups—such as meeting five or ten people, exchanging phone numbers, or handing out business cards. He also explains why masterminds can create valuable relationships and lead opportunities. The second strategy is paying for leads. This can include virtual assistants, marketing companies, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, radio, TV, partnerships, and buying deals directly from wholesalers. Johnoson points out that while networking requires time and personal effort, paid lead strategies can be more scalable because you can put money or other people to work generating opportunities. 👉 Get the 90-Day Deal System If you want a real system to do your first or next real estate deal in the next 90 days, this is exactly how we do it.
