I read the knoxville newspaper and I read it everyday to see if the new foreclosure list is available. 

There are places to find wholesalers, like craigslist, bandit signs, REA, realtors, newspapers, etc.

RE Agents, Your local REI group, Craigslist, BP, look in your local newspaper for bank foreclosures and date they will be auctioned off on county court steps, wholesalers, yellow letters, just to name a few there are several more strategies to find pre-market deals. 

Find a Spanish newspaper and advertise in there. 

Robert talks about listing a newspaper ad.

.), but I also check my local newspaper(online and print) for their listings.

When I first started I had a $4k/mo marketing budget- mailouts, newspaper ad, flyers, etc.

I'm not sure what type of investing you are interested in but for a fix and flip guy, you can use the MLS/RE agent license to:- pull absentee listings- comps- search for listings- knowing about properties as soon as they hit the market (you don't have to rely on an RE agent)- search for RE agents that focus on the type of properties you want to buy- identify areas that have the highest sales volume (this is where you want to buy when flipping)- get into properties on your own- are able to control the dealHere are some ideas on how to find listing:- absentee - MLS- pre-foreclosure - Listsource.com or newspaper- tax lien - town treasury department- probates - probate court or newspaper- equity leads - Listsource.com

Even if they brought in newspaper articles, many landlords won't give them the time of day.

initially, we will have our current employee and contractors help to turn units around quickly.The property is currently not marketed at all...no craiglist, newspaper, website, signs, internet marketing, simply nothing at all.
