Various leads sources, now it's mainly referrals from previous clients.

It lead to me buying the house next door from the neighbor for $38,000 and a similar one 3 doors down for $67,000 on an assumable loan.  

One idea that you can try that won't cost you any money to generate duplex leads (other than your time = money) is to call on rental ads where one of the units is vacant and being advertised.  

I almost think if you are renting to a younger audience, anyone who uses Facebook/Instagram, using your phone might be an advantage.  

@Chris Piper  yes licensed assistance can have MLS access.. non licensed cannot ( at least in our state) and you have to pay MLS fee's for this.your post made it sound like agents would give out their code willy nilly and I know you did not mean that just trying to clarify for the audience who is susceptible to ( hey I heard it on Biggerpockets so it must be true  LOL)

I definitely recommended it.Looking at what you have listed I would:1) paint inside and outside first ( also any yard or exterior work)2,3) Master bath 3,2) Granite and backsplash - granite may need some lead time4) floors last - definitely leave carpets to the very end.my 2cgood luck

As with all things, don't lead them on....if they help you now, be sure to send them business down the road!

In my marketing I got a lead that is a land contact.

I have someone that will lead me through the deal if I put it under contract and I figured that the repair value would be greater than value, are there any options in that type of situation ?

All,I am a novice real estate investor and I am looking for great leads and real estate investment opportunities.
