“I would reach out to leadfuzion.com and tell them you are interested in marketing to probate and foreclosure lists and ask them the best strategy.”

 

“You should go grab the book, Extreme Ownership.”

 

“As you grow, you can bring someone in to manage your people, but in the short-term, you just have to do it.”
