Question 1

Will I ever run out of data? How much data will I have access to?

Accepted Answer

With 8020REI you will have access to every single parcel in your markets. Our system is designed so that you will never run out of data based on your exact marketing needs. The platform continuously refreshes and updates your data, ensuring you always have access to the most current property information and distress signals in your territory.

Question 2

Do you do the marketing for me? Is this a done-for-you service?

Accepted Answer

No — 8020REI is a done-with-you data and strategy partner. Each month you receive a curated list formatted for direct mail, cold calling, and SMS—with a specific blueprint for each channel. Forward it to your marketing vendors or internal team and follow the instructions. You execute the outreach; we provide the data, targeting, and strategic guidance to set you up for success.

Question 3

Is the data clean and formatted?

Accepted Answer

Every month you will receive a highly curated list that has been organized and formatted to meet your specific marketing needs. We invest significant resources to ensure the data is properly formatted on our end. While no data will be 100% perfect, we do our best to make it the best possible for your campaigns.

Question 4

How often is the data refreshed?

Accepted Answer

Our data updates in real-time. Each month you receive a curated list built from the latest data at time of delivery, formatted for your marketing channels (direct mail, cold calling, SMS). Skip trace data is appended when you opt into the add-on service.

Question 5

Will your service save me time and money?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You stop spending on properties outside your buy box. Lists arrive monthly—no list building on your end. And county exclusivity means less competition for the same leads.

Question 6

Should I focus on lead quality or lead volume?

Accepted Answer

At 8020REI, we believe in precision over volume. More data doesn't always mean more deals. The key is targeting the right sellers at the right time. Our BuyBox IQ system helps you identify the 20% of properties that generate 80% of your revenue.

Question 7

Why shouldn't I just use cheaper data?

Accepted Answer

Cheap data often comes with hidden costs: time wasted chasing non-serious sellers, lost deals while competitors close the right ones, increased spend to find qualified prospects, and missing high-motivation sellers because your team is overwhelmed. The real metric is cost per deal, not cost per record.

Question 8

What is BuyBox IQ and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

BuyBox IQ recommends properties most likely to be profitable for you. We analyze your past deals, combine that with market data, and identify patterns in the properties you've successfully closed. You meet with your CSM monthly to review results. We recommend updating your buy box every 90 days to stay aligned with market conditions.

Question 9

What do the different scores mean?

Accepted Answer

BuyBox Score (0-100) measures how well a property matches your criteria: ZIP code, owner type, property type, years of ownership, property age, and loan-to-value ratio. Likely Deal Score (0-100) predicts seller motivation based on distress factors. The Final Score (0-1000) combines both—higher means better fit and higher motivation.

Question 10

What are "Hidden Gems"?

Accepted Answer

Hidden Gems are properties that match your BuyBox criteria but were missed by other vendors and investors. We find them by targeting properties with unformatted or unknown year built and properties with unformatted or unknown last sale date. Other data providers skip these records; we surface them for you.

Question 11

Who is the service built for?

Accepted Answer

Our service is designed for established professional real estate investing companies. Most of our clients have a dedicated sales team and are doing 50+ deals annually. We provide the data infrastructure and strategic support that helps established teams scale faster.

Question 12

How is 8020REI different from other data vendors?

Accepted Answer

With us, you have access to every single parcel in your markets, prioritized by desirability and likelihood of selling at a discount. We have over 8 years of experience. Our clients collectively send over 20 million messages per month using our data and strategies. This experience and live feedback loop allowed us to learn exactly when and how to reach each type of seller. With us you have full control and transparency—you have full control over your outreach execution.

Question 13

What is market exclusivity?

Accepted Answer

8020REI limits the number of clients per market, ensuring you are not competing for the same sellers with other 8020REI users. This market-level exclusivity protects your investment and gives you a competitive edge.

Question 14

Will I have a dedicated Customer Success Manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every client gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager. You meet monthly to review performance and discuss what's working. We recommend updating your buy box every 90 days based on your results and market shifts. Your CSM monitors campaigns and helps refine targeting as you close deals.

Question 15

What partnerships does 8020REI have?

Accepted Answer
