Contact a realtor with access to the MLS.Have them pull cash transactions for all zip codes.When you get the data, tally up where most investors are buying.Keep in mind some of the data will be owner occupants so you may want to do a separate report on non-owner occupied.Once you understand this find out what the average sales price is for your county and target the zip code with less than 120% of this number for your mailings and marketing (online/offline).I hope this helps.Randy

Probably would be some sort of code violation here though.

Code enforcement had me pull a permit for replacing exterior doors, windows, some siding, and I couldn't reshingle the roof without permits.

When I had to fatten up my buyers list I went to my favorite realtor and had them run a report of all the short-sale and REO properties in zip code xxxxx (insert zip code of area where you want to buy properties here) knowing full well that the buyers of these properties will probably be cash rehab investors who flip houses.I took that report to the county clerks office and looked up the deeds for those properties which gave me the purchaser(cash buyer) and their address.Some of those same purchasers had bought several properties for cash in the last 12 months.I then sent them all a form letter stating that I have come across fixer properties to call me to discuss future fixer's I may come across.

You can also make sure all of your houses are in good shape and up to code, which will reduce the chances of a complaint regarding condition.

If you do, by some chance, see a seven digit number is a 303 area code.

I have gotten codes for these quickly but that was a long time ago.

I tried copying the HTML code that's provided for websites, no luck.

Always ask (like you did) people spouting this kind of information for the relevant law or code.

I am currently invested in Dayton zip code 45403.
