Researching Hot Investment Markets
So I recently heard on a BP podcast (BP Podcast 181 @ 22:00mins) that one way to find out where investors are buying homes cash is to obtain a list of "corporations" that bought properties cash in a particular area in the last 6 months, absentee owned (in-state and out-of-state). To purchase a list like this would cost in excess of $1700 (at least in my area). This is pretty excessive just for research. I was told that this wasn't right.
Anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Can a list like this be obtained for much less than this, or even free? Do realtors have this info?
