Driving for Dollars? try Running for Dollars.

[Raden Mantuano]

So a few weeks ago. I was a little bored of the same scenery of the route i took during my saturday morning jogs. So i chose to just find a new neighborhood near by. As i was pushing myself to the limit I was keeping an eye on signs of distressed properties. Then i cam upon one that looked vacant. It had all the signs, but as i came closer to the window it looked like someone was still living there. but ever since then i started driving by and visiting the property. few weeks gone by i thought maybe its time to skip trace this bad boy. So i did, and little did i know the place has been vacant. I have sent mail and tried cold calling the owners with the site address and numbers provided. no lucky yet. but the moral of the story is that you can find properties by adding to your daily workout routine!

I agree 100%, I walk for dollard, mostly because I am old and fat.   I have a student who runs for dollars and she has done a few deals on houses that she has jogged or biked past. The trick is to pick new areas all the time.
