use them...i have been successful with local newspaper...they have free listing you can put out. some larger news paper charges you..but smaller one do not charge anything. also use online sites that can help you find the right investors!

Flipping is the in term that's being used on all those flipping house shows on tv.

So I set up everything I do online offshore.

Well this thread seems to have a few Dallas guys pitching in so I wanted to invite all of you (and anyone else) to attend my 2-hour "Eye on the Metroplex" presentation this coming Tuesday (November 7).Here is the link that has more detailed information:www.dfwmentor.com/eye_on_the_metroplexIf you are new to investing or even a seasoned pro, my insights and tips I share in this free presentation make for a very useful night.
