Just locate some vendor local to you using the internet, then go into the bricks-and-mortar store to buy.

I am looking at many forms of investing including real estate, stocks, and internet marketing.I have read DOZENS of books on real estate, stocks, internet marketing, and just about everything else.DisadvantagesI am on a teenager's salary;For those who haven't guessed, that salary is NON-EXISTENT.

Here are some ideas:REIAs or other investor meetingsstop at every rehab you seeauctionsPost here on BP (Only in the Marketplace)Call we buy houses signscall absentee owners of properties near one you have to selllook in the MLS for recent sales to cash buyersCraigs list or other internet sitesgood old fashioned networking

I would start by launching your own investigation on the property - using the internet, public documents, as well as driving by the property to see it yourself.Could be a great deal, or not, hard to say before you do your homework.As far as marketing for wholesale, once you have the property under contract, you can use a bandit sign for marketing and just general networking with local REIA family/friends/peers/other current tenants/etc.

Excel, internet and telephone line are adequate to generate leads. 

I'm 30 years old and I'm fortunate enough to have been self employed for nearly a half decade primarily earning money through internet entrepreneur activities (e.g. software products, websites etc).I'm escaping my Bigger Pockets long time podcast listener and forum lurker shell to participate in the community.

This is the best place on the internet to learn about real estate.  

One of the homes we bid on via the internet showed up on MLS after 2 failed "auctions".  

This the reaction I picture when @Joe Gore tells his judge friend about the legal arguments he engages in on the internet.

I did a quick search on the Internet and found this list of REIA clubs in FloridaRaymond
