Benjamin Shapero I'm one step behind you but in the same race lol where did you get your list of absentee owners? And Jackie Lange I'm more interested in vacant properties I don't have any knowledge on code violations you said Odesk.com was reliable for finding these hotspots??

Jackie Lange I hear ya. And no just because they are out of state doesn't mean they are motivated, so where would you find a list of vacancies or is that mostly discovered by "driving for dollars" just searching the area for vacancies? Who in specific could find me a list of properties that break code violations? Thanks

Looking to specifically target absentee owners, and pre foreclosures Michael Quarles what would you advise that can satisfy that niche?

Where do you obtain lists of absentee owners, estates, pre-foreclosures, etc? As a wholesaler I'm starting a mailing campaign and looking for cheap and reliable lists to market to these sellers!

Thanks Chris I didn't realize I can just pick up those unused leads and sell them myself. If I have a real estate agent that I currently work with for comps, do you think it would be as necessary to get a license as someone who has no networks with a realtor?

Would it be very beneficial to get a basic real estate license as a wholesaler or does this add too many regulations, limiting what I can do as a wholesaler?

Mike H. thats what I was thinnking too. The parents definitely need to co sign. And thanks for the advice I'll check out the forums for more info

David Elsea If I would live in the property it would be with a friend from school. I just wanted to know the steps to ensure I received my payments by adding the parents as another credible source of income. Also, if I live elsewhere I would rent the entire house to 2-3 people as you said before. Most students tend to rent entire houses and live with a few friends. Thanks again for the input.

Yes I am in that group. Both of you guys feel free to add me as a friend and lets get some deals done!

Jon Holdman Wow I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into the regulations before I make any moves, not trying to get stuck in something I'll regret or deal with legal consequences....
