The Cheapest Lead Gen Strategy You’re Not Using

Your Uber Driver Might Be Sitting on Your Next Deal
Next time you’re chatting up your Uber driver, skip the small talk about the weather.
They might be sitting on your next deal.
And it’s not just Uber. Think DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex, and every other gig worker out there. These folks are driving through every neighborhood, every day—and they’re spotting the kind of properties we dream about:
Vacant
Boarded up
Grass to the knees
“You-know-it-when-you-see-it” kind of distress
In other words: potential profit on four wheels.
💡 Here’s the play:
Hand them a business card or flyer. Let them know you’re looking for abandoned, vacant, or neglected houses—and you’re willing to pay $500 to $1,000 for any deal you close that they refer.
That’s a week’s worth of Uber earnings for snapping a photo and sending an address.
Pro tip:
Make it easy. A dedicated phone number, form, or even a QR code to a submission page will massively boost your results.
This isn’t just about gig workers—it’s mail carriers, delivery drivers, landscapers, even pizza guys. Anyone out there pounding pavement is your new bird dog.
Real estate deals are often hiding in plain sight.
Let someone else do the driving. 🚗💸
