@Christopher Dumelle, I honestly tracked it for two reasons...primarily to make it feel like I was a little bigger player =) but too I am a data junkie (being in IT and all).

I've resorted to driving for vacant and dilapidated homes, and mailing them, just because it's more targeted and cheaper because it's a lower quantity of leads; also, I'm on Zillow everyday with saved search.

However, I tend to ask questions as a last resort and prefer to research information as needed.

Good apartment brokers will know what's transacting as well as who the players are in the neighborhood and what the history is.

I think I can add value by doing that for her, but I have to make sure there's a solid chance of a deal (which could be tough without knowing all the players involved up front).

In resort areas it is almost always a much higher rate, particularly for weekly rentals.

Sam CravenNice to meet you, I'll start immediately contacting brokers and getting know the players in my area.

The four of them bought large blocks of turnkey vacant land lots within a Colorado ski resort at wholesale.

I've resorted to using the release method of wholesaling, but of course that works best with private sellers and doesn't work at all with REO's.

Hi,Has anyone had experience investing in a resort area?
