Finding Deals??

I personally do direct mail and cold calling but haven't had much success lately.

I've heard of investors who get listings from realtors and submit offers. Is this a good route to take or is it a waste of time?

Can anyone share the strategies they are using which have produced results?

Jimmy,

Probate can be an awesome source for really great deals. I bought 4 from a wholesaler in December 2009 that were all such great deals that I paid the wholesaler $8-10k each.

Very Important: Make sure you look at the age of the deceased (don't want to send letters to parents of deceased kids). This was a warning in a course I studied several years ago and I always thought it worth remembering.
