    Our first house fell in our lap. A second rehab seems hard to find. We have a small budget and seem to be too slow or outbid. We are looking for advice on the best way to get a house for $50,000 or less. How do you find houses? Any advice is appreciated.

    Auction ?
    Live or online

    Wholesaler ?
    If so which company do you recommend

    MLS ?


    Marketing Mail/Sign Campaign ?
    What has worked for you

    Also, we are in need of a realtor who will help us jump on properties ASAP, has experience with investors and understands the Ft Worth market.

    Please repond in the discussion forum or by email.

    Thank you,
    Suzanne

    I'd be happy to give you a few pointers as well.  There are many ways to locate deals.  If you will email me HouseBuyer@IBuyNorthTexasHomes.com with a couple times good for you to talk, we can set a time and I'll call you.

    This has been a down year for me too...my leads are at about 70% of what they were last year, and my actual deals at about 60% of what they were last year.... One piece of advice that I would share, as deals become harder to attain, it's tempting to modify your criteria to get a deal... This can be dangerous. Stick with your numbers and don't take a bad deal just because you're not getting as many leads as you're used to...
