I agree with Erickson. The best way is driving for dollars. You get to know your market a bit more, find some great areas to be looking in, as well as see the house in it's current condition. Very similar idea, but find a bird dog in your area to drive around and find properties. Every time you close on them, compensate the bird dog for helping you. I also encourage you to network with wholesalers who look for properties in your market. in addition, I like to look on craigslist/ facebook market place at FSBO, handyman special, etc. Also look at for rent on those sites. You might come across a rental that looks to be in not great condition. Good luck with finding some and if you have any more questions, feel free to connect with me. Would love to help as much as possible.
