Working a "farm" for deals

[Jim Keller]

I work in Southern California more spicificly Riverside County.  I have a very extensive real estate sales background and understand the use of a farm very well.  

I guess I'm wondering how many of you full time investors/wholesalers use a direct marketing program or skip trace software to access potential sellers.

For any of you that are going directly to your farm what have you been most suprised about.  What kinds of nitch sellers have you seen to most, and what or how has your message changed to access this nitch.

I spend most of my direct marketing time in my farm looking for a spicific distressed property.  It's almost always the worst condition property on the street with multiple levels of obsilensence in the floor plan or bedroom / bathroom count with illegal rooms or garage conversions the bigger the disaster the better.

In the last few of years it's been short sale or properties in default with equity.  These properties are still out there and I find a few every week in my buying area.  

If anyone is interested I would be happy to talk more about how I do it, but for now I would love to hear what else is going on out there.  Don't you love this business!!!!
