Some of the Zillow stuff seemed out of date. I was using the foreclosure.com; not sure if that's much better.  theredx.com looks promising, I'll have to take a look at that, thanks!

Thanks, that makes sense.  I had thought I'd start pursuing them in parallel.  I do the leg work for the more complex deals and let him continue finding the listed or or to-be listed deals. 

Helo all. I've done all my investment activities on the MLS; seems like everyone says there are no deals on the MLS. I've come across some pretty good ones I think, I've just for beaten out with cash offers (I have 25% down).

That brings me to my question... I've started seeing some potential in pre-foreclosures but my agent is apprehensive as he doesn't feel it's worth the effort.  But he will do it, reluctantly, it seems.  Anyone have experience?  I'm primarily looking for buy and holds and possible flips in the south Northern Virgina area (Stafford, Fredericksburg, Culpeper, etc.). I'm doing this work on the side, so it's not a full time gig (yet!).

Thanks for any advice!

And the good deals get bought up quick. I've put in 5 offers in just the last few weeks; one right off 610.  Either the seller had an unreasonably high price and are still sitting or I find out they've already got offers on them within the first day and I was too late.

Hi Jalen and Gregg, I'm also in Virginia, Stafford, specifically.  I'm always up for expanding network.  Feel free to reach out.

Hello all. I've been interested in real estate investing for about 5 years or so and have finally decided to jump in and be aggressive. I currently have two rentals and am searching for my third.  I've also got a small bidding war on a bank owned flip that I'm crossing my fingers I get anytime now...  I'm trying to stick to the Stafford, Fredericksburg, Culpeper and surrounding  areas, but am always open to a great deal.  I'm very handy and don't mind putting in some sweat equity early on in my investment carear to sweeten a deal. 

I'm looking to network with fellow imvestors and contractors. It be great to form a partnership with someone in my area or someone looking to make a deal in my area.  Thanks for reading!
