I'd be interested in hearing some updated D4$ mapping methods also.

If you want the deals others MAY not be paying attention to, you need to search using methods that others aren't using.As far as using your agent, I would be careful about sending them on wild goose chases and offering on dozens of properties, of which most will not pan out.
