For my marketing I plan on using cold calling and Kijiji (craigslist is not very popular here) for the first deal, and add direct mail (paid for by the first deal) and signs for the second deal.

You can get an idea on FCIexchange.com, one the most popular online sites for buying and selling notes.  

I always offer some kind of referral like $50 or a popular restaurant gift certificate.You can do the Facebook kind of marketing: our rent to own "homeownership in training" program.But I think one of the cheapest way is to go to get tenant leads is to put a big sign on your front yard of the house saying rent to own home, if you have good income please call.Have the phone number on the sign go to answering service that collects information such as name phone number and how much rent they are paying now.Good luck!

Slab front is very popular right now too.

Listsource is popular.

It is a surprisingly popular product that a lot of lenders are familiar with.

Let's say I was doing a search for a topic like "lease option" and I wanted to find the posts and/or threads with the highest number of votes, replies or some other measure of "popularity".Is there a way to do this?

A judge or attorney can spot a novice a mile off and it won't help your position, especially if you write terms that favor one side much more than another (popular with gurus).Don't write contracts for others, that is the unlawful practice of law, if a deal blows up the judge will ask "who wrote this?".

Hi @Bo Wagner Crowdfunding or Crowdfinancing real estate has definitely become more popular in the last year.
