Trial by fire has it's benefits.

I'm currently a Personal Trainer and Sports Nutrition Specialist, but have just recently started flipping houses, as well as building a fitness boot camp and diet coaching business, to generate additional cash to put into buying more properties. 

They may offer a free trial....

lots of ways, but a good wholesaler with steady diet of deals is very valuable.good luck

Before we walk in though, my lawyer asks me, "Whats your bottom line, are you willing to just let them get out of the property without going to trial and trying to recoup lost rent?"

Pick one like www.foreclosure.com and take advantage of their 7 day trial.

Building a specific list will require you to do a good bit of research and then trial and error, as what works in one part of town won't necessarily work in the other. 

If the deal is fat enough and packaged properly, you won't have any problems finding money.Also, like Levi says, you need a narrow, but deep approach to marketing (not a bunch of superficial trials), then, continue to optimize the same approach. 

As much as i hate to, if F4F doesn't call me tomarrow by noon i will go to my awesome bank- but still a bank and hope they will give me the credit I need to secure this place and begin participating in this amazing market, and no more rationing food by the 15th of the month while my wife Drs. hound her for higher protein in her diet.  

I'm finally getting around to checking out Biggerpockets, I've been investing in rentals since the housing bubble popped, doing it full-time, learned what works, and what don't by trial and error.
