One great idea is to develop a newsletter via email over time. If you can get 500-1000 people on your list you know that many of them will buy or sell at some point within 5 years.

I agree, as you mention, that the ground is shifting and there will have to be more reliance on seller financing. And there will be have to be lots of good old-fashioned negociation back and forth between buyer and seller so that deals can be adapted to meet the present tight credit market. Very timely article!
