How To Find Deals other than Direct Mail

[Martin Sterling]

Hey All,

I wanted to know some ways you guys find deals other than Direct Mail. Direct Mail is great, but I don't think you should rely on one strategy. Maybe we can get a list of different ways people are using. Here's a few from me:

1- Code Enforcement: Houses with lots of violation tend to have motivated sellers.

2- Driving For Dollars: Driving the block seeing what has uncut lawns and a deferred maintenance.

QUESTION: If it's vacant, how do you guys contact the owners? That's always been a challenge.

Thanks in Advance
