It is almost midnight and I'm browsing this real estate website answering questions and participating.

I'm wondering...when people aren't quite at the stage of touring specific properties with a real estate agent, but instead are just browsing/screening properties, what method do you use to find properties?

I have already learned so much through browsing the site.

I have been browsing through your site for years, used your templates for my leases, and recently started listening to your podcasts! 

I'm still a newbie in the Real Estate Investing world and know for a fact if I wouldn't have stumbled upon this site while browsing podcasts at work, I would be totally lost. 

So far I am aware of using bandit signs, driving through neighborhoods, and going up to the court house and browsing through records.

Browse through those as well, and you'll likely formulate something that will work well for you.With that said, the direct marketing portion of wholesaling can be a lot of fun.

I would do some dinging and browsing on this site and attend your local real-estate clubs and do some networking on local # for maintenance vacancy management fees etc.

Theres alot of great information on BP so I would browse more here.
