Thanks for the tip on Brandon's book, and on scouring amazon!

Any Realtor you want to work with is probably already scouring CL looking for FSBO's anyhow. 

Have been scouring around for quite a while to find a good deal out in California, and I recently came upon a small apartment complex that is being sold in an estate sale.  

I have been scouring the listings and working with an agent for a month and nothing even comes close to 1% without at least 125k down.

Lately I find myself on the MLS scouring for deals.

You are right RE being closed to the quarter for short-term... but in my airbnb scouring I see that things do well in some other areas too.

Are there other sites to scour for potential motivated seller leads?

I scour Zillow and the other sites  from time to time so perhaps will find my deal there but an agent with some good wholesalers and other places to look would be fantastic. 

They go to a weekend bootcamp hosted by some of the local ripoff gurus who teach them to scour the MLS, put in offers to get it under contract and immediately send them out via email via one of the guru's wholesale distribution list with a despicable markup.  

Hi Patricia, I don't know too much about the different areas of Newark, but I know that if you scour the properties on homepath.com, there are some very low prices for homes, and usually a lot of supply in Newark/Irvington/the Oranges.
