They advertise they deter mice but I've not seen that as being an effective solution for mice.  

We have been getting many of our deals through Sheriff's sales, REO's, off-market deals, and our direct marketing "cash offer" campaigns. 

Learned two key takeaways; don’t leave the contractor alone to get the work done and advertise it as coming soon as soon as work begins.  

@Roc Pilon The key is to market in a way that those who see your advertisement knows that you will consider seller financing and nothing else.

It only gives the Seller the option to rescind as such:Seller’s Right to Rescind: Seller at its sole discretion may rescind the Contract of Sale of the Property and return the Purchaser’s Earnest Money under any of the following conditions: Property is damaged prior to the Closing Date, Seller is unable to deliver the Property as advertised, Seller is unable or unwilling to remove valid objections to title prior to the Closing Date, any errors are made in the calculations concerning the offer to sell the Property, Seller is unable to acquire title to the Property, or the Property is subject to any redemption rights.So now we have all our funds in escrow with no concrete closing date and no opportunity to get out of this mess. 

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.

Many of them advertise in the Marketplace as well so you can see what they have to offer there.Holton-Wise (My company)Ohio Cash FlowMemphis InvestBuy Memphis NowMemphis Buy & HoldNoradaCrest Core RealtyPinnacle Investment Properties

Depending on the kind of traffic you are looking for, some of the bids for AdWords are fairly low, particularly for hyper-local keywords, which is the way a lot of real-estate should be advertised anyway.

I'll just gonna answer the first question.These are the possible ways on how can you find foreclosed homes:Driving through the neighborhood and see real estate signs such as "Foreclosure", "Bank-Owned", & "Bank Repo"Looking in the legal notices pages of your local paper to spot authorized auctioneers advertising courthouse steps auctions in your area. 

" . . . the bigger the splash"I'll be sure to lead with that in my online advertising postings 😀
