Driving for Dollars- We had an agent/investor on our team just last week buy a vacant looking property the other day where she drove by the home, looked it up on the county accessor site, found owner, knocked on their door, offered them cash for house, followed up 6 months later after originally offer was declined and bought it. 5.

But beyond this, he doesn't really share how he does it.I have done a bit of door-knocking for other investors here locally, and it can work, but man, it is a hard slog. 

If the tax man is knocking, it would be safer to let them foreclose then buy at auction.
