Driving for Dollars

Great day all! My brother and I are new RE investors and are very excited and anxious on this new endevour. We decided the best way to build income and get skin in the game is by by going the wholesaling route. We've been driving for dollars looking for homes in the area that are in distress that might be on it's way to a forclosue. My question to my BP family is what are some things you look for residential homes that are possibly in distress? Also we're thinking about getting a list absentee owners and sending them letters, is this a good route to go as well?

thanks for you time and responses!

-See You At The Top
