Thanks in advance,--Adam Hi Adam, as Columbus is growing at such a rapid pace, areas that were less desirable 2 years ago are now  "the place to invest".  

The methods you've mentioned are ways to find wholesalers so naturally that's what you're getting.Building a buyers list wouldn't be done through those methods.

It'd be more ideal for growing my real estate.

Here in FLorida, in the 2010-2015, I sold almost exclusively SF investor homes (about 200 of them, to investors from Cali, and abroad), and as values rose, and ROI's dropped, I found the natural progression was toward multi, to get worthwhile returns for my clients. 

Welcome to BP.I invest out of state and help others invest out of state as well.Would love to help you grow some cash flow out of state.Let me know if I can be of any help.

Awesome story very inspiring keep grinding and keep growing!

It can be a very difficult up hill battle as they were likely not educated on finances growing up.

Jack just have them deposit it into escrow like any other deal.. and a notarized document does not mean squat it only means it was notarized how on earth do you think that would help you if they did not pay you LOL.. you would have to sue them and that's expensive and time consuming just like you found out when you got in the squabble over the 10k EM.I have had a few of my notes I carried on bare land that turned out the buyers were growing weed and they wanted to pay me off in cash..

For clarity, I still have a box of baseball/football cards as I idealized Bo growing up. 

A lot of it just comes naturally.
