Hi Bigger Pockets family! 

I'm interested in seeing the different methods others have used to get a house under contract i.e. how you found your leads and how you found your cash buyers. I know there are many ways but I want to hear about how you found them. 

I made my first cold call today and called the listing agent (thought it was the owner) for the property and through the conversation they were trying to hire me to drive for dollars for them haha. I could use them in the future, but right now I want to learn how to do everything on my own. 

Also, does anyone know if the county office gives you access to an absentee list of properties with the current address of the home owner?
