The Spanish tile is so cheap here and so beautiful!

Country is Spain (where it's still possible to buy relatively cheap). 

Send them a Starbucks delivery, make friends.... because you will want to get updates to that list in a timely manner.Most County GIS parcel files will contain the tax mailing address as well as the physical property address, and of course the Parcel ID.With the main county parcel list, that is your 'jump-off point' for any future prospecting.

Sorry, but your post just rubbed me the wrong way, I know it's out of ignorance but it was the delivery that struck a cord, why don't you do a little research on members here before you stick your foot in your mouth pointing your crooked finger. 

If alot of homes in your area are underwater as if fish tank decorations I'm sure there are MANY opportunities for buying cheap on short sales.

I know a lot of people who say they want freedom, but in reality they want wealth...For example, you can achieve freedom by purchasing a very cheap property, paying it off quickly, moving in, and then building enough cash flow to pay for the basics -- food, clothes, used car, insurance, etc.That would give you freedom from having to work for someone else...The problem is, most people want more than that -- they want a nice house, a couple cars, good food, vacations, toys/gadgets, etc.

The hardest part is finding places cheap enough to flip and compete with REO's and Short Sales in your area.

While the "price" is cheap, it does come with lots of potential headaches.  

I sell them cheaper than any realtor sells them for on the MLS and cheaper than someone can find in the newspaper or cheap classifieds, and most importantly cheaper than other wholesalers.

Make a list of all properties in your target purchase price range (based upon the above filters)- Determine current indebtness/equity position (by way of a title search) to determine estimated ROI for every property in your list (could be time consuming and/or expensive)- Inquire about those that meet the above standards.It's sad but true, paying cheap money for a broad list (that you have to pan to find the gold) always costs more then paying a little more for targeted list.Regards,Scott Miller
