How to Find Surplus Funds Leads Without Spending a Dime on Ads

Let’s kill a myth right now:

“You need a big budget to find good surplus funds leads.”

Nope.

You don’t need Facebook ads.
You don’t need a cold call team.
You don’t need to drop $3,000 on a course or hire a VA army on day one.

You need skill. Strategy. And systems.
Here’s how top performers inside CTM find qualified surplus files without spending a fortune.

Step 1: Start with Free Foreclosure Lists

Auction.com. County court records. Property appraiser sites. GIS maps.

Most of your competitors are looking for a hand-fed list. You’ll outwork them by building one from scratch.

Look for:
✅ Non-bank-owned sales
✅ Sales with large spreads between opening bid and final sale price
✅ High-population counties with 500K+ people

Step 2: Filter for Gold

Don’t waste time on junk files.

✅ Delete anything “sold to bank”
✅ Focus on 3rd party sales only
✅ Eliminate any property with $0 surplus or questionable title

Use simple Excel filtering and your CTM SOPs to clean your list fast.

Step 3: Pull Ownership and Debt Records — Free

Use the county recorder’s office, deed search tools, and court websites to verify ownership, mortgages, liens, and sales dates.

Need help? Your CTM training includes SOPs, checklists, and sample files to shortcut the guesswork.

Step 4: Verify the Surplus Exists

Estimate the surplus by subtracting the total recorded debt from the sale price.
Example:
Sale price: $275,000
Mortgage balance: $198,000
Surplus: $77,000 → Jackpot

No guesswork. No fee. Just research.

Step 5: Submit to Surplus Systems (Let the Pros Close It)

Once your file is vetted, submit it to Nick’s team. If accepted, we handle everything:
☑️ Skip tracing
☑️ Claimant outreach
☑️ Attorney handling
☑️ Notary coordination
☑️ Paperwork

You collect 33–40% of net. No marketing spend. Just hustle + process.

Bottom Line:

You don’t need money to start in surplus funds. You need a method.

CTM gives you the exact workflow, tools, and scripts to turn courthouse data into 5-figure commissions—without ads, gimmicks, or gatekeepers.
