That's like finding needle in hay stack. 

This is based on my philosophy of looking for stacks of needles instead of needles in a haystack.

Don't waste your time looking for a needle in a haystack. 

I'm NOT talking about seller financing, a needle in a very big haystack today, but subject to and lease option (to buy).   

Because this approach to building a business is exhausting and a complete needle in a haystack approach, success doesn't change that.

Also you dont find those deals on  MLS, and are not retail buys. you gota look for the needle in the haystack,  they are there, you just have to look hard everyday.

Creating a website and running Google or Facebook Ads makes no sense - you would be trying to find a needle in a haystack, and I can confidently predict you would waste every dollar you spend on that strategy - and lose a lot of TIME as well.If you're trying to save money, find someone who will list on MLS for a flat fee, like $500.  

Thanks Richard;     Any Ideas how to find such a "needle in the haystack?"

@Brandon Snyder Brandon, try listening to Michael Quarles' BP interviews & his own podcast at Buy Sell Fix Flip for some ideas on how to find that 'needle in the Los Angeles haystack.'

Even better with a sole beneficiary who is pro se executor with full power and in foreclosure or other financial pressure.You are looking for needles in haystacks, of course, however they do exist (and I market with my magic needle magnet).
