Another might be direct mail, driving for dollars, cold calling, or asking your favorite cousin if they happen to know anyone who might want to sell a house.

Also AS @Edward B. stated completely bad Karma to kick someone out of their home that rescued it the morning before the sale I don't care if it was 5 minutes they got the dough there.watch the movie 99 homes to see the other side of this heart wrenching things owners went through.for these reasons we rarely anymore buy homes that are occupied.. if its abandoned then its a different story.think about your mother or father being booted out.. or someone you love.. then make your decision.

@Mike Dymski- great quote- We can turn this thread into a forum for sharing your favorite quotes/concepts from his book :)I personally loved the idea that people are emotional and that negotiating is not about reaching a logical agreement, but more about making the other side FEEL things, like they should feel in control, understood etc.I'll post a quote next time I am on this website and have my book handy :)

Then of course many of the RR companies went bankrupt, or were bought by larger RR companies and no longer exist.One of my favorite stories is about a property that two attorneys said, "There's Nothing that can be done with this property." 

If you're considering a mentor I would try to not think about how much money they charge, do pros and cons of a few that you like (excluding $ amount), pick your favorite based on the value they bring, then factor in the money.

Northside, pleasant ridge, around the UC area, the suburbs north of the city are my favorites I avoid certain parts of Avondale and price hill, a section between downtown and the UC are the areas I avoid

Driving for dollars (or my favorite walking for dollars) is a way to learn to identify potential feals in your area.
