There are a number of ways to find deals, driving for dollars, direct mail, SEO (with website), communication with all you come in contact with, etc.As for "lipstick" deals, good luck.

If you're considering an investment outside your region or state then use websites like www.zillow.com and www.trulia.com to find out what is for sale locally in the area where you want to do business (I am using these two sites only for example; there are several other similar sites).

After doing a little research I found the bigger pockets podcast and website and realized I really don't, there are a lot of options to get started.

@Santiago FocinosGo to the website to get on the email list for updates on the meetings. 

I've got the website pulled up now looking at events to attend.

I'm still exploring the website!

One type very fast and don't worrry to much about spelling and punctuation as long as i get the point across and then to help the beginner RE investor AGENT , mortgage professional  that is starting out  fields I have experience at and add valuable content. ( value being in my own mind LOL)  On the flip side I suspect BP has spent considerable sum on these new website developers doing what ever it is they do to configure this site.

Most county websites offer a tax calculator that allows you to calculate the new tax value based on the sales price-Insurance: value seems OK, this is in the range that I use.

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website!

It'll feed into other major websites (Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, Realtor.com, etc).
