Episode 191:
In this episode of The Mentor Podcast, host Ron LeGrand sits down with Jason Palliser, a 30 year real estate veteran, former real estate investment funding expert, and one of the country’s leading specialists in off-market lead generation. Jason digs deep into what is consistently the number one or number two lead flow in every city he tracks: tax delinquent homeowner properties.
Jason reveals why leading as a tax advocacy company, not a real estate investor, is the key to getting homeowners to open up, trust you, and choose to work with you. This episode is packed with practical strategy, scripting philosophy, deal structure examples, and a clear framework for how investors at any level can tap into this largely overlooked opportunity.
