I have tried Direct Mail, Driving for Dollars, Door knocking, Property Tax Lien list, craigslist and develop a referral network with an Estate Sales company.

I recently read an article in the Business Journal that vacancy rates in Houston average over 25%, the highest of any city in the country.I'll drive by on an elevated part of the freeway and look over at a building.

We found our duplex by driving to find a vacant one and having our realtor contact the owners.

Just make sure your deal still pencils factoring your money cost.

It's not in the greatest location but something we believe we can market because of multiple factors including the fact that it adjoins to a city park on one side that has nice amenities and on the other side it has 3 ingress/egress streets that deadend on the property line with utilities that follow. 

My brother did a drive by on that one.

There are Aton If factors that can come into play though.

It’s not all that dissimilar to driving without a seatbelt.  

Once taxes are factored in, my ROE of 7% (it's free and clear) doesn't look so bad!

Just saw this and was so happy, have a 7 hour drive from NYC to Pittsburgh today and this is perfect to help fill that time.
