Looking for property in northeast Philadelphia going to attend foreclosure auctions. What are some other ways to find deals ?

I know from my experiences, there's a lot of time wasted (mine) sifting through "great deals" brought to me by wholesalers and bird doggers that are really garbage. 

That makes the audit go a lot faster and they just do random checks for accuracy rather an intensive "shoebox" sifting if you keep everything in a shoe box.

It’s a lot of sifting through unqualified renters.

You might waste a couple minutes of someone's time by sending them mail - but I'm not aware of a better way to sift through the opportunities that don't make sense.

Just wondering how many people have sifted through and found/closed on properties you have through the marketplace.

I would much rather have to sift through lots of discussion, opinion, and varying experiences that is non-official legal advice than to have a drought of information on legalities.The former requires some critical thinking and homework, but at least you have insight on potential avenues to pursue or avoid.The latter can often leave a person with seemingly nowhere to go, or more likely, going somewhere all the while not even realizing there was a potential legal pitfall.Let the legal ramifications discussions flow!

Sifting through data to find a deal is very old news.

Hey Matt, one thing I would recommend is sifting through various turnkey company websites and seeing what markets their properties tend to be in.

You may have to sift through 50 or 100 deals to find one that makes sense.
