Where to Find Tenants

[Charles Lucenay]

I am a newbie at residential investing. I was looking at 2 townhomes that have been foreclosed. They were builder foreclosures and are almost complete (probably 90%). I was considering purchasing them finishing them out and then leasing them. I am curious as to where you all think the best places to find tenants is? Also, how do you go about locating a tenant prior to purchasing and closing on the property. I have heard that a lot of lenders want you to have the tenant lined up prior to the purchase.
