When I say trend spotting I mean things like vacancy rates (SFH/multi/commercial)  and sales trend data (prices going up/down).CityData.com is a good source along with setting up keyword alerts here on BP for each market of interest and reaching out to local Real Estate Agents and Property Managers. 

If you want to skip the REIA and still find wholesalers, just go into Craigslist and search for keywords like: cash only, wholesale etc..

What Google key words would I.search to bring up my states pub records for real estate ?

The last thing that we want is people taking advantage of BP to benefit themselves if they are just posting garbage content or keyword stuffing, and as such, have added made it so flagged blogs have "nofollow" links.

Jeffery - your key word of "if I think the value will go way up" reminded me of all the people who bought in 06,07,08 etc and thought the prices would go "way up".

I'm struggling to setup my keywords for my local search campaign.

I wanted to see if we could come together to formulate a powerful phrase for money drop card marketing.

I think the main phrase of concern is, “title is transferred…â€.

I think that is unprofessional and some owners might find it insulting :)In my experience I have always sent typewritten letters, either as a self mailer on a heavier cardstock, trifolded, or in an envelope with some catchy phrases on the envelope itself.You can design and print them in your printer at home.
