How do you market for deals in Baltimore?

[Patrick Young]

I am considering Baltimore area for purchasing buy and holds. I live about an hour away and own 2 SFR. I have not attended any of the area REIA meetings but plan on doing that ASAP.

I am curious, as I evaluate the Baltimore market, what typically works as far as finding good deals to buy in Baltimore?

1) Direct mail

2) MLS using an agent

3) Finding a wholesaler

4) Are there auctions ?

I am looking for something that would benefit from some rehab but not major rehab and probably focusing on SFR currently but with an interest in something bigger once I figure out the area. Being an hour away that may limit some of the higher time intensive areas. I am looking to buy and hold, could pay cash for smaller deals in the 50-60k range.
