What's the Best Method for Finding Properties as a Wholesaler?

[April L. Williams]

I've read many opinions on this topic, but I would like to get everyone's opinion on BP that has been a wholesaler as to what you feel is the best way to find properties? I know some wholesalers send out mass emails, postcards, yard signs, cold calling, word-of-mouth, etc? I've also heard of wholesalers purchasing properties on auction. From my own personal readings/searches, I have found that it appears that REO's are the best route to go if purchasing properties online as it's the least amount of hassle. Has anyone found this to be true?
