Have funding and contractor, how to find properties?

[Trevor Probandt]

Hey guys,

I have spent the last few months putting together a list of investors and potential buyers and game planning. My father-in-law is a really good contractor who is semi-retired more than willing to help with my rehabs...now I just need the properties. My father is an appraisor and successful raw land investor in the San Angelo area. But he and several of my investors don't know much about SFUs and the rehab/flip property finding process. I spoke with my father today and he told me two of the big name realtors in town personally own many properties themselves, and might not be the best place to start looking. So, how do you successful folks go about finding your deals?

PS I will be in the San Angelo, Midland/Odessa, and Abilene areas of Texas. Land and housing is cheap...so I'm figuring on having to do a relatively high volume.

Thanks in advance,
Trevor
