Perhaps you should read my thread found here https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/583...The most popular, most voted on thread on BP Nation.

I know mailers are popular, but where are you all getting your pre-foreclosure info from (list source/ foreclosure.com, etc.)? 

@Reno LawThis situation is rife for the seller (wholesaler/realtor) Bypassing the MLS limits the property's exposure significantly because most real estate company websites receive feed from the MLS, so listings are widely distributed.Not all agents search these alternated listing site's (Zillow, Realtor.com) so they won't know about your property.

Anthony,I would beg to differ… Multifamily properties are a very popular asset class for buyers within San Antonio and Nationwide, so inventory has been in short supply making for a competitive buyers’ market.

I have been researching ways that offer an alternative to invest my money, instead of throwing it into the good ole' stock exchange. 

It has always been possible to diversify your retirement savings into alternative assets such as real estate, private notes, privately held stock and the like - but takes a different kind of service to accomplish that.One of the first things you will want to identify as you read and learn here on BP (lots of good info on the topic) is determine the best type of service for your needs.A self-directed IRA custodian (typically a trust company) can hold an account and process investments into a broader array of assets. 

Is there alternative payments?

You are close to several popular ski area's that have a large draw from the Boston market.
