You can try sending text messages, RVM, Google and Facebook ads, Door-to-door knocking, cold calling etc.I'm sure you will find success through some of these outlets.

I will be knocking on doors that are from my driving for dollars list or my tax list but I imagine the guideline should be similar if not the same for both?

Hey @Tyler Ortiz If it is just one property I think you should just door knock or chat with them personally over the phone.

I’m moving into one unit, but do I go knock on the door with warm cookies and give them a copy of my expectations/how to pay future rent/emergency contact info etc?

We generate most of our leads through pure hustle: door knocking, bandit signs, and word of mouth from satisfied clients.

The numbers above are with "ARV rents", and knocking off the current landlord paid water/sewer/garbage bill of $190 by submetering.

If they knock most of these baselines out of the park, you are very lucky on one of your first projects.

If it is I’d knock on the door of the local building dept. and find somebody who can make a decision about the disposition of the property.  

well CA is not a tax lien state its a tax deed state.. so when you bid you own it.opening bid is just that.. you bid from there.. it will be rare to the extreme that a 600k property goes to sale at 25k.. and if it does it will get bid way up.bidding is simply what your willing to payyou can door knock send letters etc.. this is quite common.all liens are wiped out except IRS and those sunset 120 days no need to get super concerned with that stuffMost common is you buy a worthless property that has been let go to sale becasue its un buildable or other defects of a physical nature.

In the early days I used to go knock on every door personally, try to hear people out and work with them.
