We've had many speakers at REIA meetings that I attended that were obviously targeting newbies with their investment schemes.

Hi Minna,one possibility could be to search the county tax appraiser's website and look at properties one by one, where you will see the address where the tax bill is sent --> the owners' address of record.It's not a simple 'put in the parameters and create a list' method, but if you are targeting a certain community, for example, you can identify the owners' locations that way.

After you have studied and understand your strategy, pick a target investment area and go look at 50 or 100 houses in the area.

As you have no debt and very visible assets you appear to be a rich target.

I drove my target area and haven't been able to find any "we buy homes" signs.

I am interested in wholesaling, maybe some strategic retailing, and definately targeted cashflow.

And for customers with a brochureware site, the ROI is hovering just over zero.For brochureware REI sites, Web advertising really doesn't make sense, unless you are using google adwords and are targeting a geographical location.

However, investors do have a fairly efficient network that normal residential buyers and sellers don't have, so if you are a seller targeting investors, you are likely to be able to sell without a realtor, but if you are rehabbing and selling to non-investors, a Realtor is almost essential, especially in a buyers market.

Hard to meet production targets when you have no money to lend.In conclusion.Lenders are motivate to sell REOs.

That is where you're targeted buyers will be.
