I’ve written many posts on how to find real estate leads. But I get this question so often that I’ve decided to write another short list on things you can do at any time to speak with sellers and buy properties.

Call all “we-buy-houses” bandit road signs and discuss that you want to buy from them and sell to them. When going on appointments to meet with sellers, drive the neighborhood looking for distressed properties. Call for-rent signs and sellers on sites like ForRent.com – looking for burnt out landlords wanting to sell. NETW... 10/31/2018
