Hello,My wife and I found a home we like on www.hudhomestore.gov that seems like a good deal at face value for a potential flip or long term rental, but we have never purchased a home from them and wanted to find out ...

Two days ago someone listed a 334 sq ft shed with a composting toilet, and a wood stove on a 1/2 acre for $350,000.

Cold calling, direct mail, social media advertisement, door knocking, agent leads, software and list providers are some of them.

Email listings?

Not all that different from an on-market MLS listing in reality.

And for a vendor list ?  

Look for an agent that will help you run numbers on potential properties, not just send you listings.

Have you found any Propstream or Auditor lists tend to have people who are interested in selling their home this way?

I'm think on starting on to obtain government listing (pre-foreclosure, tax liens, water shut off, etc) and also probably call or text Real Estate Agents on listings they might have that aren't on the MLS.

MLS- listing How did you finance this deal?
