Reed, another guru I think, but he lists the law suits, bankruptcies and jail time these thieves have.IMO, and yes, I may have a better insight to some areas of this, these educational information types are being examined, in time I'm betting there will be oversight as to products advancing systems, strategies or methods of conducting business.

@Nicholas Miller Look at what Nicholas Miller posted about his Facebook results and methods..

Hey, my name is Joshlee, I am a newbie wholesaler in the miami dade area, and I was wondering if there are any methods to finding vacant properties other than driving around to neighborhoods? 

Thanks everyone for the input - I like the different methods and ideas put forward on this forum.I've started a blog on BP as @Isaac Guzman recommended.

This it true for any untargeted marketing method such as signs, billboards, etc.

Other people use wholesaling or flips to fund their rentals :) There are tons of methods you just need to find what works best for you!

The average agent is all about getting listings, then living on the put, put, pray method - put a sign in the front lawn, put it in the MLS and pray another agent comes along with a qualified buyer.

If you can, selling to a local, you can seller finance it, Sub-to, lease-option or select a method that gives them control and an interest, this would be a commercial transaction so long as they aren't moving in.

Heck there are 103 podcasts describing people's different methods! 

Actually, we all should have relationships with multiple realtors regardless of our method for locating deals.
