There are also some not advertised you can find through google. 

I have seen The Mortgage Shop advertised and know its connected with the Short Term Shop. 

Cold calling/call centers/ paid leads was something we did a lot of and it worked well enough as one lead source among many, but we found in order to scale efficiently past a certain level it was important to focus more on generating inbound leads as much as possible which we did through consistently asking for referrals, brand building, web presence/ SEO/ content, email marketing, advertising both online and off, media coverage, social media, events/shows/speaking engagements, traditional/ offline networking, direct mail, etc.

Looking at craigslist ads advertising rehabber specials and getting their phone numbers2.

I'd like to get in to the Real Estate business in Michigan but there a couple of things that keep stops me from moving forward.1) Finding the renters.To find the renter on a single family house, do i go through an agent who advertises for me?

Not advertising well, not in communication with me throughout, and leaving a vacancy in my rental. 

v=REhg_bv7srMBefore lawyers were allowed to advertise back in the 1970s, they would join fraternal organizations and volunteer for a leadership position no one else wanted.

This year we have gotten deals from direct mail, cold calls, ppc advertising, networking, bird dogs, wholesalers, pocket listings from agents, drive-bys etc.There are thousands of articles written on how to get off market properties. 

We are a free-sharing group.However please note that our site rules expressly prohibit solicitation, self-promotion, and advertising.

It's blanket advertising, so not as targeted as mailing absentee owners, but it's far less expensive.
