IMHO your best best is word of mouth.

It is very, very hard to find clients in any other way than by word of mouth.

This city is more rural, and people work primarily through word of mouth.  

As a direct private lender, I do very little marketing as the majority of my borrowers come through word of mouth from other investors.

If you get more and can't take them all down yourself, let me know, you can assign them to me or we can set up a double close so you can make some wholesaling money.I'll be happy to keep my mouth shut as to where it is and would even sign a doc stating that if you like.

Classic example of the power of word of mouth.

(I've never been happier to be wrong!)

I am always on the lookout for rentals in Mount Vernon too, but have been finding them via word of mouth.

Fact is, institutional investors are happier with a lower return.
