As my investing career started to grow more and more local investors (absentee owners) would receive my yellow letter.

"I would suggest working with an agent to help you locate funding.Another option : look up banks via white or yellow pages online and ask away.Example : enter zip code 53205 and go out 30 to 50 miles <-( banks , community bank , trust, credit unions, and etc )Reason for my response -> I see individuals contact agents and say hey I want to invest with you.

@Oliver Ngugi Try bandit signs, post cards and yellow letters to a list (such as absentee owner, divroce, inheritance, etc), networking (with wholesalers, agents, probate attorney's, etc) Craigslist can work but there is a lot of junk on their, FSBO sites, etc....You can find some pretty creative ways.

Received response from a yellow letter I sent out.

We then use "yellow letters" to get in touch and hope for response

These are a few of the first 200 yellow letters I sent out on June 25th.

Here is the link you read on Yellow Pages about Premier Property Management Company of Memphis http://www.yellowpages.com/cordova-tn/mip/premier-property-management-gp-462627383 .  

Just last week, I purchased a list of absentee owners from List Source and started mailing out yellow letters.Today, I heard back from a seller and I am scheduled to go out tomorrow to look at the house (YAY.  

So, I have been flipping for several years now, but the MLS has dried up over here and tried some yellow letters.  

This time I plan to use the knowledge I've gained to get out here and try to lock down my 1st deal.I'm still working on a few details and I still have questions but I'm giving my self a three week deadline starting tomorrow to at least send yellow letters or postcards to potential motivated sellers to possibly get my first deal.If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated and I hope to connect with many of the investors in my area in the near future.
