Depending on your local market, there are publications (like "Daily commercial record) you can subscribe to for like $30/month and get all the leads you need.I would target expired listing with equity (possible if the last recoding date is many years ago).Sending post cards is cheap, sources like overnightprints can print 5000 glossy cards for just over $200.Hope this helps.

Over the last several months I've been searching all public listings, talking with agents, and driving around looking for the right deal.

Tucson assessors info is online and i can publicly search mls and newspaper at home.

When someone buys a property with a loan, there are three pieces of paper that get recorded in the public records.

It will also be a waste of time compared to just focusing on what you need for investing rather than to work with the public as an agent.

In some cases the trust structure worked well while in other cases there was no will or trust so the process was drawn out and very public with assets being listed in the press (probate process requires this).Good luck.Jon is a star and I am glad he could help you.

They want the marketing publicity, but never wade into the discussions of average investors out here.

I'm sure there are easier places to work 1st deal, but I just don't see much investor activity out here...and when there is one that you can tell from driving by (and public records) that it's a flip, it sells quickly, usually 2-4 months.

And if he doesn't become one, he will certainly do good things with his life.But I don't think anyone has a problem with his "personal views", the issue is with his bringing those personal views so public.
