Hey FolksOn almost every wholesaling introduction, folks are taught to use listsource to find zip codes with the highest concentration of cash sales--and target those zip codes for direct mail.

They are concentrating on Net proceeds, so you need to show them they will net more selling to you than they will as a foreclosure.

Problem : Extreme crime rateAdv: Cashflows can be great if done right.So what do you guys suggest as to the areas that I should be concentrating if I need to stay out of war zones, yet hv a phenominal cash flow (may be some appreciation) ?

I am an agent with a local real estate broker here in seattle washington, I have sololey concentrated my efforts on pre-foreclosure properties.

You really should concentrate on off market properties.

Just keep your eyes open, study, show people you're serious, and try to concentrate on how you might be able to benefit other investors who are more experienced. 

We'll be concentrating mainly in Round Rock and Cedar Park.

I will concentrate on marketing a lot more now.

If you are in the growing stage of your business would it be wiser to concentrate on that solely and wait for rentals until the business is doing awesome?

Also, a cash buyer can close in 10 to 15 days and sellers/investors really like the thought of cashing out quickly.I think you'll have better luck if you concentrate your search outside of the city and more into the suburbs.
