Would be great if we could invite you and meet our community.

My question to the forum is: Given that the inventory for lots on the major websites (zillow/trulia/redfin/realtor..etc) is thin, are there suggestions on how we can seek out owners of the tens of numerous unlisted vacant lots in West Oakland?

I have spent the last few months listening to numerous BiggerPockets podcasts, reading the BiggerPockets forums, and studying real estate investment books, such as David Greene's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" and Brandon Turner's "Rental Property Investing".
