Here in Charleston SC looking to understand how i can come across, eviction, absentee, and probate houses without a MLS or Listsource. I am looking to begin wholesaling the "conventional" 0 down way, i know i am in for a slightly more difficult journey to my first flip but i have a projected timeline of 6-8 months and that should be enough time to surely flip at least 2 homes.
I would like to know how and if with 0$ down i can generate good leads and lists, the most effective methods i have used are driving for dollars in specific zip codes and checking the classified ads in papers as well as craigslist.
@Caleb Edgehill You aren't able to search the MLS for probates, evictions or absentees. Those would be better acquired from list source or a similar source. However, those lists are not always accurate and they're expensive. Early on, driving for dollars will probably be your best bet. You can also access public records to find motivated sellers depending on which group you're targeting with marketing.
