Lead Generations on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

[Ross McKenzie]

Good Day All, and Happy New Year. I'm a newbie REI entrepeneur on Salt Spring Island BC, Canada, soon to be moving to Victoria, or elsewhere on Vancouver Island, (as my job allows me to live anywhere in the world). I am happy to have discovered Bigger Pockets and I'm pleasantly surprised at what a great guy Brandon Turner seems to be, a great host and very pleasant to listen to.

Re: Wholesaling & Flipping Leads.  Has anyone found a good source of Foreclosure Leads, or of Private Sellers?  The "Pennysaver" is nowhere to be found in Victoria, (although I should call distributor).

It seems to me that partnering up with a trustworthy Realtor is the only way to go, paying then a Finders Fee for a lead, and another fee for a COMP (comparison) - and hope that (s)he doesn't scoop up the property before you do.

I'm looking for a deal (who isn't) on a residence, and even better if I could use it as a music-yoga studio.

After I escape the isolation of this island I can network with a local REI club for more info.

Many Thanks.  Wishing you all a 2015 of Freedom, Ease & Accomplishment.
