@Joseph Abbott You have to start first, you start off by yourself renovation properties, helping homeowners, making new friends, meeting powerful people in the city.A year goes by, your adding people to your business to do work, now you have a team, saving money up, paying off debt, your business name is known a little in the area, you bought a few homes for cash flow, you met investors that can fund your ideas, your taking people out for dinner, your at the the REI groups branding your company3 years in, Now people know you around the city, showing them you do good work, you paid off your debt, saved up some money for starting  a Real Estate Development Company, you met city officials and political people within the city, you get in the news papers, your active the in community, you have a full team that takes care of your contracting company, your making money from houses and the construction company, now you are working on developing blocks, doing big projects in the city and a real estate investor.Now this can take less than 3 years but may take 5 years or more I don't know but what I am saying is with a plan to start, and starting TODAY as a carpenter gets you closer to your goals of being a developer and rebuilding neighborhoods. 

newspaper?

the local newspaper in any area publishes scheduled or pending foreclosures.

Yard sign (use voice mail description to filter) Other sources could include local market websites such as online newspaper or TV station, realtor message boards in your market, pointer signs on street corners, tack board at your local grocery store, tenant referrals, neighbor referrals.With any fear, the best way to mitigate is to have a backup plan.

billboards, newspaper ads...

My name was published on the front page of the newspaper along with the bid amount.

I’m lookin for a Co Worker 50,000-85,000 3 bedrooms 1 bath with a joined Garage in Southfield Telegraph and 12 Mile near that Area in Southfield 

From their website and newspaper site, I get the  impression that  there is a lot of emphasis on senior care. 

There are several, but the "New Haven Register" is the main local newspaper, the "New Haven Independant" is blog that covers local community news & events.
