So as promising as my phone leads off my local newspaper seemed to be at first, over the last few weeks, they've pretty much turned out to be useless - about 95% unmotivated sellers looking to save realtor fees.

The owner is desperate.I also buy a lot of REOs and have a small ad in the classified ads section of the newspaper that brings in 3 or 4 deals a year.

Provide them with neighborhood crime reports, sex offenders in proximity to the property, necessary repairs, foreclosures in the area, cheap comparables, any signs of distress in the neighborhood (vandalism), news-paper clippings with bad local economy news, etc....It would seem the ideal model might be a lower 1st with higher 2nd?

Some counties have this online, some require you to go down to the courthouse and dig it out.

Better than mail, just call the Craig's list listings, newspaper ads, or the landlord's you find in those little booklets found at grocery stores for apartment units.

@Justin Rickson nice to meet you, digitally of course.

I think pulling the money out and investing it is a great idea, especially with rates so low right now.Double digit cap rates are common in some areas...will get you double-digit yields absent appreciation or leverage.

I'll dig it up but i believe it was Bank of New England in Milford and the gentleman's name is Cliff.

Hi Paul,Is it too expensive to advertise it in the Sun newspaper, or in some of the Spanish language publications?

I get alot of calls from my newspaper advertising and was wondering when i recieve these call can I just blatantly and legally just ask if they have section8?
