Or if you're willing to hustle, you can try door-knocking and driving around and looking for FSBOs. 

So, to counter a lot of advice I hear to beginners: do wholesaling last, not first ;)

So, I decided to drive a nearby neighborhood close to my residence, recently and document addresses of seemingly vacant distressed properties.

Learn about "driving for dollars" to create your own curated deal list.

This could potentially drive up the price on the subject property. 

I was able to drive the property a couple of days later, and I realized no i should not chase a rezone, and actually property similar to this will be removed from my list. 

I'm ok with my guy for now, if he leaves, that house will be sold (I'm thru with Seattle) and I'm not ready to ditch this place yet.

I’m relatively new to wholesaling, and I’ve been diving into the process—cold calling, direct mail, and driving for dollars.

And as I continue to see more and more "we buy houses, cash" advertising, even the distressed homeowners are likely getting multiple offers from wholesalers, driving up the wholesaler price, which means higher price for you.

Plus, the sync issues with financial institutions drive me nuts.
