You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Best way to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.

Focus on finding good deals, networking offline and online and the money will follow :)

Most other options offer far lower rates of return so the thing to do is buy land with a mentor in either one of the above areas or Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, Pinon Hills.I'm happy to assist you more in your quest, let's talk more offline about your goals and ideas.

@Josh Heeb it would be easier to talk offline about deal to get an idea of value.

i use 3 property managers in the area and can give some recommendations if you want to connect off line. 

OK got it.. you should hit me off line I have set up a court house buying team there we are buying every week.. you can get first looks I am sure you can built your inventory with our help. 

All these suggestions are great, thanks for the advice.If you decide that the 30 year HML option I mentioned is for you, I can guide you through that offline if you wish.Best of luck.

I stand behind the structure that I use for myself as well as my clients and would be happy to speak with you offline as well if you have further concerns or areas that need clarification.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the details off-line and how you made the numbers pencil.
