Mortgage Leads:
-
1st-Mortgages:
You get 2-3 leads for free to try them out.
After that, you have to buy them.
Even if you only get one deal from them, it costs you
nothing! Well worth the
30-second investment to sign up.
Give them a try!
-
Lending
Universe: They let you sift and search through leads first,
before having to buy anything. And they're prices are reasonable and
fair--I've even gotten some deals off their bargain bin $0.99 cent
leads! The best part about them is their no-hassle refund
policy. We've all gotten burnt by bogus leads before and wasted
money...I hate that feeling! You can even refund the leads yourself
online, if they don't work out. No questions asked.
I spoke with them and Lending Universe said they will give you a
FREE lead, just for registering, so you can try them out. And, if
you decide to purchase any leads, as a visitor to my website, they
will even throw in an extra $100 in promotional credits FREE.
Click on the link above, then click on the "loan brokers"
area on the right hand side of the web page, to register and get
your free lead and $100 promotional credit (if you decide to sign
up). It cost you nothing to see what they have, and is at least
worth a closer look.
