how do you find rehabbers?

[Vikram C.]

I am in Phoenix to fund rehabbers and flippers. I have spoken to a few clients but I need a larger portfolio of clients to make sure my money is working most of the time.

What are some of the good ways to market my funding services? I am aware of the following:
1. REI Association
2. Craigslist
3. Brokers and agents

Any other ideas?

The Recorder of Deeds (some call it Register of Deeds) should have a way to search for "sheriff's deeds" (since AZ is trustee state, they may call the deeds that are produced from foreclosure something else); rehabbers will be among those buyers.

The MLS has a way to search for "settled" transactions; find settled transactions that were CASH, not financed - many of these will be rehabbers.

Get friendly with the local REO brokers, since you will be offering a product/service that will benefit them in moving their inventory. Most of the REOs that I see need rehab, so there will be rehabbers among those REO buyers.
