Methodology

Dead lead estimates based on industry data: 8–15% of distressed properties change status (sold, listed, or resolved) within 30 days. Rates compound with longer cleaning intervals.

Time value calculated at $75/hour — the approximate hourly rate for a 10–25 deal/year investor earning $200K–$500K annually.

Response rate projections based on GoForClose client campaign averages across 1,000+ investors over 6 years. Fresh-data campaigns consistently outperform stale-list campaigns by 2–3x.

Bulk mail rate savings based on GoForClose's negotiated postal rates, averaging ~30% less than standard commercial rates.

All projections are estimates for educational purposes. Actual results vary by market, competition density, distress mix, and mail volume.
