Consider spending 30 minutes for 30 consecutive days on Bigger Pockets.

If you have a little more money to spend, direct mail seems to be a go-to.

On the other hand you could also say that in doing all of your calculations, you realized that you're going to have to spend more in renovations than you previously thought, in which case you'd now like to offer 165K (without conditions)I wish you the best of luck with your purchase.

If you can't afford a few grand then you really are never going to make it anyway.even if you are out their on your own to be proficient you need to spend money on your own advertising etc. access to MLS  and used correctly alone will pay for the license many times over.. and you never know when you may become a rock star agent top end agents make far more money than 99% of wholesalers you will listen to on this site especailly the part time investors  LOL.. they are part time for a reason.. they are not RE professionals.

Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goalsMany investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast - either of these behavior will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals.  

As far as the advertising, if you want to pursue this and spend your money, try sellpoint, it will post your property to 40 other websites (but some of them will already have the property due to the MLS.)Good Luck,Javier T. 

A lot of the advise I am getting is to not be afraid to market myself and spend they money to do so.

Once we ran out of cash for something we stopped spending.

One thing I would advise is renting a car and spending your last day driving back through the area for a second glance and driving up and down several streets.  

Right now what I'm facing is:1) Buy a 3-family home for investment (can't live in it, as it's too far from work), spend about $100K in cash to purchase + repair, to get about $300/month net cash flow after expenses.
