I second Craigslist and every other internet advertising venue you can find.

Learning how to locate them is sometimes the hardest part, but the most fun as well.When I'm searching, I find them in numerous areas, through numerous venues and with quite a bit of work.

To rent out of state: 0) get all your co-located properties on the same rental schedule - say September 1st; 1) find a listing agent (to do the showings PM companies are the cheapest), 2) advertise it yourself on Internet and other venues, 3) Once a tenant is approved, schedule 2 trips to the properties--1 on move in day, and 1 on move out day.

I found this website just a few days ago and have been sifting through all the posts and has helped me out a great deal. the plan is to start as whole saling by creating my buyers list while im searching for deals. after my first deal going with an LLC and net working with the people i meet that i call from newspaper and other venue's.

Probably a venue change again to suit our needs a little better.Great meeting you all!!!

I feel your pain, I ran a conventional REIA but was kind of sick of the whole sales thing myself, even though that's how we made our operating budget.It takes a lot of work to find a venue willing to give you free space, that is located appropriately, and that is large enough.

Purely, due to the fact that the REO is now a liability. 90+ days plus should be a starting point.Private lenders, pre-foreclosures(use for identifying property, make reserve bid never know may get it, most auction properties go back to banks anyway) and auction liquidating brokerages(most effective when looking for multiple properties).Right now there's a huge inventory of REO's new one's hit the market everyday may be a venue worth for you to pursue

For everyone that attends the meeting invite your ONE best contact to come as wellThis will serve to make the meeting better each time and hopefully grow it in a manageable fashion so we don't overwhelm the venue with people.

In today's high volatility environment, most investors I talk to are seeking ways to insulate themselves from volatility using alternative investment vehicles and RE funds are a good venue for that.Cons:Typical REIT strategy is investing in class-A assets in core markets, where assets trade in the 4-5% cap rate range.

Lots of questions about jurisdiction, venue, etc., if something goes south... especially with an unseasoned (my perception) company.But I probably overthink things.
