@Thomas Poloncarz Jr Again your buddy should be making recommendations because if you are going to be making your realtor thousands of dollars they should have a lot more experience than you to guide you through your investing. I personally like to generate a list for properties over 60 days on market, because these are the properties we will typically lowball offer on and will negotiate with us. I actually don't care if it has a recent price drop because many relators have alerts for price drops as does Zillow, and I want the property that is mismanaged by the realtor that nobody is looking at to leverage walking away. Easy to walk away from a buyer when there is a lot of interest. Expired is along the same line and a good one as well, and we also like to call on rental listings on market over 60 days especially in winter. A lot of realtors are bad about updating these, so a lot of dead ends but again empty homes in winter give sellers more motivation.
