I’m a newbie and have only done 1 deal and been looking for next deal for almost a year. The lists you mentioned; where do you obtain them?

I wish there was an easy way to find subject-to deals but none that I know of.

The first sub-to I did was with a bandit sign, then direct mail. I didn't see any pattern...

The book Finding and Funding Great Deals by Anson Young, is really good at taking you step by step through the process. I strongly recommend reading it! Anson also did podcast #235 at the launch of the book if you want to check that out.

When it comes to real estate investing, there are many ways to find motivated sellers. However, finding those who would entertain a “subject to” deal can be difficult. These individuals want the benefits of owning their own home without having any of the responsibilities that come along with it. Subject-to deals do work very well for both parties, but you need a lot of research and dedication to find sellers for this type of arrangement.

@Austin Wood there's no easy way to find subject 2 deals. Also, why even bother to look for motivated sellers amongst the unmotivated? I'd suggest you go off-market and get a targeted list (probate, absentee, divorce, tax-delinquent) and start marketing to them. You can either do cold calling or direct mail marketing. Both works great if you're persistent with your marketing.
