I have a few goals.1- acquire property to ultimately build a portfolio (I would gladly flip or make it a rental)2- generate some strong interest from the liens

I have a couple of leads from friends and family, and needing to find phone numbers of the owners listed on the deeds.

Hi All,I've been learning about pre foreclosure leads as possible deal sources.  

I am currently working with investors in the Slidell and New Orleans area and would love to share any leads I pick up with you.

@Jordan Gilberti This is one of the toughest areas of this industry to accurately capture...especially flippers taxed as ordinary income...and at the end of the year, how many investors really do a deep dive on their properties and confirm actual ROI...not many...this is tedious (and sometimes disappointing work).While flipping houses is not a viable or sustainable industry, it works for generating vacation cash...the most successful flippers aren't flipping houses any more, they are lending or teaching other people how to flip houses...but why?

The excitement I had then ran out when I was lead to believed I would never have the funds available to break in to the industry.

Google and other sites have keyword generators or suggestions, but I just can't find what I feel I'm missing. 

After five years of active duty I deiced a change of scenery was a good idea, which lead me to Cape Cod.My goals in real estate are buy and hold rental properties, mainly multifamily.
