I'll need to do some research to find the right market/submarket.I've been reading newspapers, MLS and using websites like citydata.com to look into areas but if you have any good suggestions on finding good markets/submarkets, I'd be interested in hearing them! 

They are putting expensive ads in the newspaper and have very little replies.

I hunted, I searched, I cried - the property was just not out there...until one morning I opened up the newspaper and there it was. 

Network with service people, i.e. letter carrier, pool service person, lawn service person, newspaper delivery person, carpet cleaning people, plumbers, etc.

So far what I know is I found it on a newspaper ad being advertised as a FSBO.

Check newspaper ads, too.

The biggest newspaper in Phila - The Inquirer - recently ran a story from a reporter who was having issues 14 years after he agreed to allow a buyer to acquire his property by a "simple assumption" of the mortgage; sounds to me like a "Subject To" transaction. http://www.biggerpockets.com/links/1640-a-cautionary-tale-about-assumed-mortgages-phila-inquirerI had a "simple assumption" agreement, which was between me and the purchaser of my house.

Back then you needed to be 21 to contract but I partnered with a 19 year old brother who was married thus giving him the right to contract.This deal was a fsbo ad in the newspaper and I showed up at the front door and asked to see the property, the owner about 45 yells at me what the hell do you want?

Forsalebyowner.com and even newspapers.
