Wholesalers near me / Advertising

[Kyle Coleman]

Hello All,

I've got a strategy I want to work on, and I need wholesale deals to look at.  My big question is though, what/where is the best place to find them? I know they are everywhere, but I feel like there might be a secret hideout that they all pay attention to. I would love to see their deals, and more especially, the deals that they may consider tough sales. 

I've only ever bought properties the traditional way, 20-25% down, through a realtor etc.  I'm trying to find other alternatives.

I see all the time the signs "we buy houses for cash" or "we buy hard to sell houses" etc, the bandit signs if you will.  However, these are largely not legal in my areas - so what would be some avenues of advertising that would be good for someone that doesn't want a ton of leads, but something to potentially keep me busy. I've been considering the newspaper, billboard blips (this is like a 10 second flip screen on the popular areas that rotates with everyone else's ads), craigslist, business cards, direct mail etc.  

Any insight would be lovely!

Thanks BP Fam!
