I discovered that years ago, and through much trial and error believe I have found the solution.I feel that Core Logic is the industry standard for real estate mailer data for all types of real estate, since they have a direct feed from 98% of the approximately 3150 counties in the US.

local broker should be able to set you up for auto alerts a program like top producer so that you get e mails daily of new listings that meet your criteria .. takes the agent a few minutes to set up and its all automatic from then on out.. you then get the MLS feed as to your criteria and you can have your local person bird dog them. .you find one you want to offer on call your agent and instruct them to write it for you.. it would not be uncommon to try to negotiate a little better deal if the agent is simply writing offers and doing nothing else but giving you e mail feeds.For instance I work Charleston I get e mail alerts every day... about once in 30 to 45 days I see something I want to write on.. and go from there..

Its a quick search and most realtors wil be willing to do so if you feed them leads that you can't wholesale.

If he's got an in to an REO rep that feeds him, pay his $3600 (and buy him and his wife a steak dinner).

CE classes were usualy a joke, but a good lunch and time to meet other agents.As to costs, it;spolitical as to who runs the schools and feeding them as well.States have their hands out as well, but it's part of a bigger picture, IMO.

Depending on the ages of your children some of the elementary schools and middle schools are quite good, you just need to pay attention to where each prospective property feeds into.

I don't work with bottom feeding investors or builders.

I believe in owning more than one business. 1 – agricultural – not only is it relaxing if you do it right, but it’s not hard to feed yourself for a year at a time, for almost free, if you educate yourself on it.
