Have you looked into any of the services that provide motivated seller leads generated off the internet?  Most of them are less than $200 per month and provide enough leads to get you started.  They're typically set up to automatically charge you each month, so if you sign up for one and only want to try it for a month, look for a free trial or a money back guarantee.  Or at least make sure you cancel the service before you're charged again if the leads don't work for you.  I have used several of them off and on with some success.

Try this - get ahold of a list of condemned properties from your county's code enforcement division (should be free or very cheap). Track down the owners best you can, and send them each a handwritten "yellow" letter. Your goal here is to lock up a junker to wholesale, or if it doesn't need a whole lot of work and if you can raise purchase money from a private lender you could perhaps pay cash (get it CHEAPPP) sell it on a work-for-equity program to a tenant/buyer.

What you really want to do is start the process of outsourcing everythign you can .

Don't get involved with bandit signs, business cards, every networking event under the sun.

Get a landing and squeeze page up, direct all your traffic to that, and have an 800 number.  Buyer and sellers come the page you gather their info, email phone whatever you want on it.

Right away you start to build your buyers and sellers pool automatically.

Get a virtual assistant to hanldle online marketing for you.  So you become a rock star a only one thing and that is spending your time on speaking to sellers or buyers and closing them.  Not endless hours of prospecting especialy if your new

Focus on a niche as well... try to get away from ShortSale or REOS because everyone else in the world are also doing those

Good Luck

Hi All....
Understanding real estate investment is crucial because it usually involves a substantial investment and a long-term one. Moreover , the real estate market can be unpredictable. This is particularly important when one goes beyond buying a home to actually 'investing' in real estate.high returns in property investing can be achieved if one can sell considerably higher than the purchase price.
