The MLS usually has lame deals,  marketing campaigns take a while to bare fruit, chasing leads is well chasing leads.  

There's nothing wrong with being creative...it will lead to your best returns but, when it comes to federal loan programs...it's strictly by the book.  

There are paid services for that kind of information and it blows my mind that some investors are too cheap to buy a $10 in depth search when it could lead to a much greater reward later.

After the long DD period leading up to the purchase I would say updating units between tenants.  

@Simon Shih Sure thing Simon, there is a gentleman named Ted Jones he was the leading econmist for Texas A & M Real Estate and is now Chief Economist at Stewart Title, he put on the presentation and I am sure you can google him and look him up to find that out what I just said was correc and that @sharon  Tzib was also in attendance along with a few hundred other people.I am curious if you think somethings I said and know to be true were not correct, meaning that there was a net increase of 23,000 jobs in Houston (Labor Department) , the fact that Houston has two international airports (Bush and Hobby), 2 major airlines have hubs here (united and southwest) and I know this since I am a pilot for one of them, the fact that we have the largest medical facility in the world...

@Aj Bowman I'd recommend some creative marketing to help you generate more leads.

I will be happy to discuss if you come across any leads.

Hey @Jeff Hogan, you can try the following to find FSBO leads:- expired and withdrawn MLS listings (they may have gotten discouraged or not wanted to pay the broker fee)- FSBO websites- craigslist- zillow "make me move" properties

DON'T click on the investor ADs - that costs them money and no one wants wholesaler leads coming through their paid advertising targeted at motivated home sellers.DO scroll below the ads and look at the natural search results.  

I was wondering if any of you here in Michigan, more so the Oakland county, Genesee county, and Wayne county areas have used rebogateway to get leads?
