I have seen many post on websites, broker chat rooms, outpost, and comment sections about mortgage leads being bad and down right fraudulent. Well I have taken this question to the next level, “Are mortgage leads still worth buying?”The answer is of course. I ran an experiment in late July that tested major mortgage lead websites and this is what I generally found.

Mortgage leads are a much further competitive marketing tool compared to several years ago.

Online shoppers definitely do submit their application to increased than one site when shopping online – this is the biggest issue noted through out our research.

Return policies are the biggest key to making this investment profitable.

Time spent on calling mortgage leads can be enormous if you let it.

The ROI on mortgage lead purchases is still high if you manage your purchases, people, and profits correctly.

The biggest issue with calling mortgage leads is that we as mortgage brokers and loan officers are spoiled or think that we are calling deals – not leads!

Leads have to be worked, worked, and worked some larger. We bought 10 mortgage leads each from 5 top sources and the results were pretty good. We found that 3-4 were completely bad and the rest had to be called over 4 times just to make initial contact. In the end we had to work the leads for about 3 days and we received 3 applications and one deal went to the table. We found this in 3 of the companies we reviewed.

The outlook we have on the scenario is this – 10 leads for an average of $150.00 and we got 3 potential deals -2 deals we could not get because of the borrowers situation – which is not the lead companies fault – and the other one we had to work for over a week to get a deal struck and bring in 2245.00 in total fees to our net branch.

What a massive ROI – don’t you think?

Another scenario we had was a reorder with a company that we did not strike a deal with, but this time we bought $500.00 in leads and the return was the same. Did we complain, NO, we profited over $1500.00 for a $650.00 investment – that is an easy choice in my office. After calling these leads we called and interviewed a few of the mortgage lead companies and asked them how they view their product and view the brokers that buy leads from them.

First we spoke with Dave Henry (http://www.leadorder.com) and he spoke with us about the cost of generating quality mortgage leads. Dave stated “Mortgage leads can cost between 8 dollars to 14 dollars just to generate, as long as you are using legal and ethical methods to generate mortgage leads. We do not participate in SPAM or incentive backed leads and that drives cost up and drives quantity down.”

“With cost going up it has forced 100% of all Lead Companies to work with other marketing companies – do not be fooled all of them do – this in turn can drive down quality because as a company you can not screen every lead. To combat this we have instituted a verification process that all our affiliate leads go through before hitting our system.”

Off the record Mr. Henry stated that he sees his company as a leader in Lead delivery, a big issue with most lead buyers. Their MLT, Mobile Lead Technology, a system powered by Yahoo actually sends a text message or page to a mobile device once a lead hits your email – We say that is a cool idea!

The second person we spoke with was Jayson Williams with Leadbull.com (http://www.leadbull.com) a mortgage lead company with one of the largest member databases on the web. Jayson states “Our system is simple and since we do put so many leads on our system from our own websites and other marketing companies we want all of them to be backed with the optimum return policy, so we credit back most request if they fall in our parameters. We want to make the experience easy and profitable. The outstanding issue we find is brokers that call a lead 2-3 times do not get an answer and try to report as bad – just because a borrower does not answer the phone or call you back does not make it a bad lead.”

Jayson says “Our system is based on 3 principles – fair trade – good service – and affordable products. We know that most LOs or Brokers are new or have good employees below them and are responsible for keeping their leads flowing. This is why we offer such a vast array of products like aged leads that are good for telemarketing or new loans officers getting their feet wet. Our verified and exclusive leads come in at a slower rate but are packed with much success. These leads are good for the experienced employee that can close a hot deal and fast.”

We asked Jayson about exclusive and verified leads and he stated the controlling thing to remember is that “most lead companies are trustworthy and do sell their lead once or the stated amount of times, but the Internet has made it so easy for a borrower to submit an application to 3 different sites in a matter of seconds. This causes your exclusive $75.00 lead to be worked further than you expected – but that is the name of the game. The Internet makes them easy to get but increased people are getting them – don’t be fooled the less that lead is sold the better but mix it up, do not put our eggs in one basket, but different types of leads and make sure the company has a good return policy.”

We want to thank these companies for their insight and we will add heavier about or research in the coming weeks. From our findings Mortgage Leads are still a viable source for generating revenue.

Legitimate sub-prime lenders provide a needed service to many
wishing to buy a home. By offering financing to those with
adverse credit, sub-prime lenders offer a helpful financing
options. However, predatory lenders take advantage of people
with poor credit by charging excessive fees, forcing
foreclosures, or demanding titles. To protect yourself in your
home loan search, avoid these common mortgage scams.

Excessive Interest Rates And Fees

Predatory loans require a borrower to pay excessive upfront
costs or high fees. Some state laws protect consumers by putting
caps on interest rates or fees. If you have bad credit, you
should be paying no greater than 8% higher than a conventional
loan. Limits on closing costs vary, but anything larger than five
points should be viewed suspiciously.

Forcing Foreclosures

Another lending scam involves lending to people so they will be
forced into foreclosures. These types of loans typically have
monthly payments so high, you can’t possibly pay them. They lure
people in by promising guarantee approval or cashing out your
equity, but they charge high interest rates. Before you sign a
loan, be sure you can afford the monthly payments.

Demanding Title

A growing scam involves supposedly refinancing your mortgage,
but in reality they scammer is pocketing your cash and title.
There are many variations on this scam, but usually these
con-artists will solicit those who have liens against their
property or received a foreclosure notice. They make a promise
of solving all your financial problems if you turn over your
title and pay an up front fee.

The scammer will then file for bankruptcy in your name that will
be dismissed since a third party initiated the process, but it
will still leave a mark on your credit report. The scammer will
also take mortgage payments from you, even though they didn’t
pay off the first mortgage. In the end you may lose your house.

Protect Yourself

Protect yourself from these scams by being a savvy shopper.
Request quotes from several lenders before picking one. If you
have any questions, talk with the lending company. Legitimate
lenders will be happy to explain the process and answer any of
your questions.

Once you pick a lender, be sure you read all forms before you
sign the paperwork. According to federal law, you have three
days to cancel your mortgage after settlement. You will also be
refunded all fees, except the application fee.
