I personally don't look for properties on the MLS because it usually involves a realtor looking for a commission and money needed up front for the property. If you have a investor friendly realtor who would work with you on some wholesale deals until you build up the cash flow you need to buy and hold yourself then that won't cost you much money at all. You could also find for sale by owners properties through List Source, Craigslist or Zillow which only requires you to get a property under contract and then market it to private lenders for a fee with little or none of your money down.

You can start by posting it on Craigslist. It's free. Also I place bandit signs in the area near the property to advertise. That's how I was able to get a buyer for my 1st property. Lastly I used a site call MyHouseDeals.com to market as well. You'll have to check to see if it's available in your area. 

I met an attorney on BP that I'm currently working with on a deal now. His name is Derek Martin. You can probably connect with him if you PM him on this site.

I have a couple of properties that I'm looking to wholesale and want to try bandit signs to market them. Any suggestions on what to say on them to get immediate response?

PM me for further information. Let me know what information you're looking for. Thanks

Ok. Thank you.

I have a seller who wants to sell his property but owes a significant amount in back taxes. How do I market this property to a buyer if I determine that it's a good wholesale deal?

MyHouseDeals.com is another site you can advertise your deals on. I believe it free too.
