Eddie has been investing for a while, and he’s about to take his real estate licensing exam on Monday. He recently sent out marketing to his 2019 leads and got an appointment from one of them. The prospect hasn’t even been able to get into her mother’s house for the last year. Eddie emphasizes that working historical probate leads is a great strategy now.
