It was a "Response" seminar which is based off of the Scott Yancey one. It was ok, but honestly I have been using Mark Whittens site and learned more in 5 minutes than 3 days of the seminar. Real Estate money club is what has been helpful for 20 a month - or 167 if you want all the education at once. They also record conference calls about deals and people asking questions.

Thanks for reaching out, I will apply these strategies


Using any list is pretty worthless. Once a property is on a list, you're competing with everyone who has the list and a lot of investors buy lists thinking this is a great way to find deals - it isn't.

The best way to find deals is as @Scott Jelinek said, market. That does not mean you're contacting people, you market to get your name out and people contact you. It is an investment, but making money takes money. Doesn't have to cost much, but pick a few areas where you want to buy and market the heck out of those areas - post cards; put out flyers and business cards; walk neighborhoods and talk to people who live there; write articles for neighborhood newsletters; put magnets on your car doors, etc., etc. 

People must know what you do before they will reach out to you. The absolute best deals are the ones that find you.

Good luck and let us know how you progress!

It would have but they wanted to charge an additional 38,000 $ for the hands on training. I understand the math and looking up rehabbers and getting a buyers list, along with sending postcards once you find an owner.

I am a new investor trying to get my first deal. I attended a 3 day retreat, but still trying to understand getting a deal. I contacted the code enforcement bureau, public records and tax assessors office. How would I analyze the sheets they give me to understand what I'm looking for. I'd be willing to share any good deals I find until I can understand the full process.
