LeadQuasar's Real Estate Investor category holds 1,321 person-level contacts, and every one has a name and an email address. 45% also have a phone number. Most of the list sits in Texas, California and New York, with Houston the single biggest city, so it suits a lender, wholesaler or service provider working one of those markets.
Who sells to real estate investors
Investors buy services around each deal, and they buy them repeatedly. The businesses that prospect them most often:
- Lenders: hard money, bridge, rental-property and construction loans
- Wholesalers and deal sourcers with off-market properties to assign
- Title, escrow and closing attorneys (with the usual caution that you should not give legal advice in a cold email)
- Contractors and rehab crews who can turn a property on schedule
- Property managers for investors who hold rentals
- Insurance agents covering vacant, rehab and rental properties
- Software for deal analysis, CRM and rent collection
What they have in common: an investor judges you on whether you help a deal close. That is the only pitch that works.
Read the titles before you write
The list is not only people with "investor" on their business card.
| Title | Contacts |
|---|---|
| Real Estate Investor | 211 |
| Owner | 72 |
| President | 56 |
| Chief Executive Officer | 28 |
| Realtor | 27 |
| Real Estate Agent | 18 |
| Managing Partner | 15 |
| Founder | 15 |
| Investor | 14 |
| Principal | 13 |
Three groups show up. Individual investors (Real Estate Investor, Investor) are usually doing their own deals and make every decision themselves. Firm leaders (Owner, President, CEO, Managing Partner, Principal, Founder) run an investment company, and may have a team, a fund or partners behind them. Agents who invest (Realtor, Real Estate Agent) sit on both sides of the table: they can be a buyer, a referral source or a competitor for the same deal.
Write to each group differently. A hard-money lender pitches an individual investor on speed and flexibility, a firm on capacity and repeat terms, and an agent-investor on referral fees.
Where the investors are
| State | Contacts | With phone |
|---|---|---|
| Texas | 459 | 208 |
| California | 373 | 161 |
| New York | 179 | 71 |
| New Jersey | 55 | 23 |
The list touches 40 states, but outside those four the counts are small. Florida has 26, Pennsylvania 22, Connecticut 15, Georgia 14, Illinois 12 and Michigan 11. Be honest with yourself about that: this is a Texas, California and New York list with a thin tail.
The city picture is even more concentrated. Houston has 216 contacts, almost half of Texas. Los Angeles has 137 and New York 127. Dallas (67), San Antonio (36) and Austin (35) fill out Texas, and in California, Orange County (31) and Beverly Hills (26) stand out. A Beverly Hills investor and a Houston rental buyer are working very different deals, so split your campaigns by city.
What a good first message looks like
Investors get pitched constantly, mostly by people who want something. Stand out by offering something useful.
- Lead with the deal, not your company. "I have a 3-bed in north Houston under contract, rent-ready in 30 days" gets opened. "We are a full-service investment partner" does not.
- Be specific about your market. Name the neighbourhood, the property type and the price band.
- Make one ask. "Want the numbers?" is enough.
- Follow up with substance. A second email with a comp or a closed-deal example does more than "just checking in".
Keep it short, send from a real person and follow CAN-SPAM and any state rules. For the mechanics, see our cold email guide.
Checking data quality
Every record shows a quality score and a data tier before you unlock it. The Real Estate Investor list has 240 PREMIUM and 519 VERIFIED records, with 562 in CONNECTED. Start with PREMIUM and VERIFIED in your target city. Only 33% of records list a website, so for the rest, a quick search on the person's name and city will tell you whether they are actively buying.
If you plan to email a large part of the list, run the addresses through a checker first. How to verify an email address explains how.
