Targeting the right neighborhood when wholesaling?

[Rapy Narruhn]

Alright guys, 

I called a few title companies in my area and found out that obtaining an absentee owner's list and a list of "cash sales" is not free. They sell it pretty cheap though. Atleast I think so. 

I was wondering 

What kind of neighborhoods should I try to target to give me a better chance of landing my first wholesale deal?

I used ListSource to narrow down absentee owners and the hottest zip code area.

You can do this for free and then drive the locations to find vacant properties, which is what we do.  If you pay for the list, depending on your budget, then you can get the details and do a mailing campaign or look the properties up on Zillow.
