For homeowners in foreclsoure trouble and you want to work the pre-foreclosure market, then public marketing is key.For most of my great deals, I have got them before they hit the MLS (although they were either destined for the MLS or did hit for a few moments while my offer was already in).

I live in San Diego-a destination city for many visitors.  

I'm wheeling and dealing in Snohomish county, which is the natural destination for the Seattle mid-level market overflow for the next generation.

The other option I have seen work effectively in destination locations is to go for the bottom of the barrel multi-unit properties and cater to the year around residents.

I think a lot of people will get little value out of it, but that's mostly because they were never destined to do many deals anyway.

You will be the guy dressed in business casual with the clip board supervising the general contractor.My opinion only, of course...David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

We are a resort destination.  

Just recently read an article where Puerto was listed #3 out of 30 Top home buying destinations in America. 

I add to that by saying even when that next bus comes, make sure it's going to your destination and don't just jump on it either.
