Who are the owners - lookup their Linkedin job history do they have 15 years in the business?

I believe we are connected on LinkedIn as well.

@Adam Davis  look at linkedIn or other career posting sites, google property management in the area of interest and call and/or visit several companies.

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Best way to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are having people driving for dollars for you, door knocking, JV with wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can also use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media.These are some of the ways to get going in the business but the key is developing relationships in the markets you wasn’t to be in, finding hood deals and getting them locked up over the phone.

For $3600 - I wouldn't spend over $100 in background checks because you can probably get most questions answered by researching his social media / LinkedIn and reaching out directly to anyone who comments on his posts or references he publicly lists.   

Find your county's assessors site....look for the property card. find the owner and skip trace them via truepeoplesearch, facebook, linkedin etc and give them a call. 

I sent you a request via Linkedin.

I was looking for trending articles to post on Linkedin and found this great and recent article on affordability and median price article for real estate markets.

Added you on Linkedin and saw we had a couple of mutual connections.In Houston we're acquiring about a hundred motivated home seller leads per month via Adwords (search/youtube/gmail/display/remarketing/RLSA), Bing (search/RLSA) and Facebook (contextual/behavioral/remarketing).Anything you can share about what's working for you at Char-Broil would be really interesting, particularly around Google Shopping.Also, what Custom Analytics views/reports are you regularly reviewing?

Having a company makes you look more professional, as does having a website, and making sure your Linkedin profiles are up to date and show you're an investor.
