Craigslist to find Scouters for good housing deals?

[Tony K.]

Has anyone used social media to find scouters? Ie. look @ craigslist to find carpenters, lawn mowers, trimmers to discuss dog-bird scout for distressed/foreclosure properties?

Any Success? How did you develop your relationship with people that scout good deals for you? Or are they generally your business partners that are vested? I am looking for properties that I can send yellow-letters to or properties that are not on the market.
