Most foreclosures come from death, divorce, job loss, or medical reasons.
You could try marketing to motivated sellers like out of state owners, recently divorced owners, or older owners, estates. There are lists of these for sale from data providers out there. Someone at your local REIA may know where to find them for your area.
Or you could make ads in the newspaper or online - "Any situation, any condition, etc".
