Need Advice in Finding the Deals Please

Get out and drive around and look for empty houses that are in need of repairs. Look for FSBO's and call them. When you find an empty house look it up on the Tax Assessors web site and find the owner.

Go to for sale by owners website www,forsalebyowner.com,type in your state or city,look through the list of motivated sellers.In the email question box,
tell them who you are and that you work with a group of investor buyers who buy houses fast.Leave your contact information,when you get a responce talk with them and see what they would sell for if you could find a buyer for them and close in 14 to 30 days.And go from there.

Thanks for the great advice. It has been a bit of a struggle, but we will never give up.

First - welcome to the DG family! REI is an exciting journey, and this site is a great resource for support and information. Always remember to do your due diligence, and be a SMART investor. This is what Dean teaches us and as long as we follow it you WILL find the great deals you are looking for! You have received alot of good ideas above - keep being persistent! And by the way - assignments are NOT illegal.

Thank you Laura! I so appreciate your positive feedback and great advice.

Are you in Yucca Valley or Victorville area?

to just trying to find houses with deep discounts and massive amounts of equity

Look for cash flow properties as well. There are a ton of buyers who don't mind buying homes with relatively little equity, but are in nabes that command high rents and net cash flows

Kimmy, I'm in Victorville. Where are you?

Rarely are good deals "found". They are created. You create a good deal by putting in a lower offer than they are asking. That's what I do month in and month out. Hope that helps.

That was an excellent piece of advice Matt. Many thanks!

So johnathan....what particular law or code does an assignment deal violate, or is your statement based on another he said/she said conversation you heard? Nevertheless, continue to think assignments are illegal and that will be one less tool in your tool box.
