I live in a small town (9500 pop) but we are within 20 miles from a larger city.

For instance, I'll google the words "foreclosure, lee county alabama" and in the list that pops up are newspapers that carry the foreclosure notices.  

They got hit really hard when steel dropped in value and they will probably take several years to recover in price so holding now is not only good on rents but I feel your value will have a difficult time going down much further.Colorado is getting close to a bubble pop, so I would be careful to buy and hold without a lot of equity but flips are good right now and will be for another 2 years or so as long as you get the equity.South Florida is PERFECT RIGHT NOW. 

@Patrick Boutin, you almost certainly signed something saying that if a buyer pops out of the woodwork while it's this listing agent's listing, said agent gets her check.

As the other poster said you should not be able to set the water heater to a temperature to high to pop the relief valve. 

Hello Gregory,When I click the link a duplicate page pops up for Baltimore, What should I look for when clicking on the link?

Also just to clarify I have not found my next deal yet I just want to know what steps I need to have in place just in case a great deal pops up so I can move forward and not miss it.  

And Voila my comments/posts pop-up! 

Then I'd be on the lookout for established wholesalers and investors in your area that pop up from your keywords.4.

I'm seeing these kinds of properties pop up fairly regular.Give me a shout if you want to chat.
