I have bought a few houses after reading the foreclosure notices in the legal section of the newspaper but mostly I find opportunities by just talking to people.

So I contacted an attorney who said we can do a quiet title but since there are so many people geographically displaced I'd have to post about it in the national newspaper and all in all the cost would be roughly $40,000 just to get marketable title.

Also check local news papers TV for large companies moving to the area.

I used to even include a clip of the newspaper articles when a major levy was passed.   

If not, call the newspaper and tell them your story.

Newspapers are dead and bringing them all online has only lessened the true journalistic impact which is why you see good writers writing about stuff they just reviewed, but do not know.

Perfect example Oregon ( Hillsboro tech Hud) got a massive amount of Chips Federal Grants as Chips are seen as a National need ( dont want to rely on Taiwan)  Intel is largest employer in state . the city of Hillsboro identified 1700 acres to bring in to ensure future high Tech growth ( got to have the land)  the no growthers and farmers and newspapers scream we cant have sprawl U cant do this.. we have plenty of land already in the Urban Growth areas.. while thats true very few parcels are over 40 acres in size.

@Ian M.For the owners hiding behind the bare trust agreements, you can pull up their names by doing an online search for "David Baines: Real estate investors settle class-action lawsuit" Mr Baines before he retired was a business columnist for the largest newspaper in British Columbia, the Vancouver Sun.In this article you can see the payment the defendants (who I am talking about) had to pay out to the plaintiffs.

Market your property and get tenants.This could be through flyers, direct mail, rental marketplaces, newspaper ads, or on social media etc. 6.

You don't go through your text messages hoping a random stranger sent you a text coincidentally with the exact solution you need, you don't go to the library, you don't open a newspaper, you don't call your mom or your neighbor.
