I have one website I use in searching people called INTELIUS.COM.If the price at this website in not competitive for RE investing business, then you will need to use those that are really meant and targeting absentee home owners like melissadata.com and the rest of them.I DON'T have any link or affiliations with these websites, good luck guys in your searches.

I have a course from Dan Doran (no affiliation BTW) about door knocking that I thought was good, but I never used it since I get good response in my area from letters and bandit signs.If you have more time than money on your hands I definately would be knocking!

Hi guys my name is Bert Soakai im currently looking in to educating myself on real estate investing in southern California.  I work a full time job working about 90hrs a week and a commute is 3hrs everyday round trip....

Will soon have NC provisional broker license and am looking for an investor-friendly brokerage with which I can affiliate.

Have you looked at Hard Money Bankers (I'm not affiliated with them but I am friends with the two owners)?
