I get an email or a LinkedIn post from a company that promises to fill my pipeline with leads probably three times a week. I’m wondering if anyone has used one of these services and can provide a recommendation? I have a pretty narrow niche and have figured out what my ideal client looks like, so I assume that these services will fill my inbox, but with leads that are not quite right. Anyone have a good experience?

I’m in a small forum of other agency owners and a few of asked about this since we all get bombarded with sales folks wanting to do lead gen/c level exec connections etc. Very negative feedback from anyone who tried this. Ultimately, nobody can sell the biz like the owners don’t waste time or money is what I’ve concluded. If things change with your results, let me know. Would love your feedback.

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?
