The markets, rules, techniques, laws,  are changing constantly.

Try out different techniques and see which suits you best.

It's a good technique to get people together for meetups!

I'd love to find more and larger multi-family properties but I think the most realistic approach to growing my business in this area is for me to focus on finding single-family buy-and-holds (most likely 3/2/2s).To that end I'd like to use wholesale techniques to find motivated sellers.

I would search forums and the Web in general for Wholesale Marketing tips and techniques. 

And really what I wanted from my original post was interviewing techniques or tips on finding solid people to work with.

I know I need to get offers out there so I've been marketing to probates and driving for dollars but I want to make more offers than these leads are providing.I really want to start making offers on REOs and HUDs but I don't have the money to buy and double close to re-sell them.I have read about using an LLC as the buyer then selling the LLC but I'm seeing more and more REOs asking for POF with the LLC as the account holder - which I don't have since I would be creating this LLC just to sell.I've been studying more with Land Trusts to simplify the exchange to the end buyer, but haven't found any info on using a Land Trust to make offers on REOs or HUDs.At this point, I'm at a lost for ideas on the best way to make offers on HUDs and REOs that will still give me a good chance to have my offers accepted AND make it easy to assign/sell to an end buyer without needing to double close.I hope someone has a great technique they are willing to share!

Does anyone have suggestions on which technique I should use to come to the wholesale value I should pay?

If the strategy you intend to use requires financing find out what lenders offers programs tailored to your particular investing strategy.

@Ben Koslof if you're constantly driving, you can take that as an opportunity to engage in the "driving for dollars" technique (if you google around, you should be able to find info on this--it's definitely been discussed in BP podcasts and on BP forums, and there are probably articles about it).
