Google Satellite/Maps ~ Good to use?

[Aaron Phillips]

Hello BP,

I'm still starting out in RE Wholesaling, and I have heard about Driving for Dollars to find some good leads. How about Google Maps though? Has any other Wholesaler used Google Maps to find properties in distress or properties that need renovated? 

What I'm doing is devising ways to increase my Sellers List because right now in the beginning stages, it's extremely difficult to find Motivated Sellers. I think Google Maps could be an effective way to find Motivated Sellers. 

But I'd also like to find more ways to get Motivated Sellers to come to me? I have thought about Signs, Facebook Advertisement, Craigslist, etc.. Any other more effective ways?
