Look at this a few ways:- what are you brining to the table from the developers perspective and why/how much would they pay for it.

With a consistent approach this method will result in fresh leads being brought in on a regular basis from the field as well as over time a steady stream of phone calls from the cards, fliers and signs positioned in the neighborhood.Another broad method of drawing sellers to you is marketing.

Just meet up once a month or so, add perspective and bounce ideas.

I paid $250 for consultation with an attorney to show me how to write a contract from a wholesaler perspective and all the Do's and Don't in wholesaling.

Just a note about bank perspective: Mortgage servicer/ and loan investor know they have a note for 32k.

It's easy to get excited walking into a freshly painted 4 bedroom house with new carpet when you have lived in an 2 bed apt for the last few yrs.

LOL.But to your comment, that can be said about basically anywhere in the country.I understand that due diligence is in order but on purely a cash flow perspective at those prices and market rents any property would be a good deal if the vacancies are manageable.

I do feel in general that I am not getting a complete picture of my perspective tenants, and resort to a paper application for all of the details, and to have the legal stipulation that I can call employers and landlords.

if they're fresh off the boat, they won't have no credit history, no references. if they decide to leave in the middle of the night whenever they want, leaving damage behind, you won't have any recourse.

Or (B) Delaying when you enter the listing in the MLS allowing you to call all of your perspective buyers and investor friends (Unethical under the Realtors Code of Ethics).
