Finding companies on the web is a good ideal but sometimes referrals are better.

I drove my target area and haven't been able to find any "we buy homes" signs.

I am interested in wholesaling, maybe some strategic retailing, and definately targeted cashflow.

Are the foreclosure sites scatered about the web an efective tool for an investor looking into that market?

And for customers with a brochureware site, the ROI is hovering just over zero.For brochureware REI sites, Web advertising really doesn't make sense, unless you are using google adwords and are targeting a geographical location.

Use the mail, use the web, try another skip tracer to see if they can find more.

However, investors do have a fairly efficient network that normal residential buyers and sellers don't have, so if you are a seller targeting investors, you are likely to be able to sell without a realtor, but if you are rehabbing and selling to non-investors, a Realtor is almost essential, especially in a buyers market.

I think it’s spelled out on our web site what we do and don’t.

I've always found investing in and developing properties to be interesting, so I want to get some experience as it may be a potential career someday (note: I'm not looking for a position as a real estate agent).I've spent a ridiculous amount of time contacting commercial real estate firms that I found on the web, but I have not gotten a positive response from anyone.

Time more than money.Reading information on the web, buying books after checking them out at the store for free, networking with other investors through REIA meetings and similar.The other variable is your market.
