I was going to use Thumbtack in the past, but they and a company called ServiceMagic will generate leads for you, but you must pay in advance, with hopes of gaining business, and I never been one for that route.

I don't mind getting leads, placing a bid, and winning the bid, and then paying a small price to contact the client to get their address, etc. But I refuse to pay for leads that may or may not generate business for me.



I told my wife that if things continue, I will be getting back into real estate investing sooner than expected.
