Rank Your Deal Sources!

Here are my top sources for deals over the last 18 months:

1) MLS-listed REOs. Best deals, cheapest deals I've bought. Often times much cheaper than what I would have had to negotiate from the owner before they got foreclosed on.

2) Bandit Signs. I got a few awesome deals from this marketing method, but stopped putting signs up about 6 months ago. Got tired of dealing with code enforcement and the uniforms calling me.

3) Mailing to absentee landlords. Good response rate, but tough to negotiate a good deal - most want market value or a bit less.

Rank yours below!

REOs have been 19 out of my last 20 deals...the other one was a probate deal that fell into my lap...
