@Shaun Ortiz I think, like most things, an investor needs to realize three things:1.

Assuming you have access to MLS (Multiple Listing Service, a place for agents to list deals).1) Look for deals that look like investor-type of deals (e.g. low purchase price, ugly houses, or sometimes MLS will even say what type of financing it is)2) If the buyer's info is there, voila.  3) Otherwise, contact the realtor to look for leads (that will be more of a uphill battle, but you never know...)

The current renter is paying 2600 for the whole house, but when fixed up a bit, the upstairs could likely fetch 2700 and the basement could probably get 12 or 1300.
