So I am looking around for new houses to buy and flip. Here is a small little hustle web tip. There are a few places to get foreclosure list. RealEstate.com is a decent site for finding homes. In Raleigh if you do not want to subscribe, you can just click on the links. A majority of the links have pics from Raleigh tax records. The tax record photos have the tax Real Estate ID on them at the bottom. With this ID you can search the Wake County Real Estate Search for the homes. This will give you more information than you will know what to do with. It has info from deed history, current owner, maps, etc… Basically you will find out all the information you would want to find out from the paid membership. You can check out the house and generally the house will be locked up and have notes on the windows with contact info. Once you make enough flipping you can afford a monthly fee to see things for free, but until then you can use this method to get your feet wet and see if you want to start flipping. Let me know if this works for your area.

If you have a good real estate investment group or club in Raleigh, you can attend their meetings and get a lot of good information for free as well. A lot of times they will ask you to join if they recognize you attending meetings regurlarly. Just don’t go that often.

Will have to look for those, currently I am trying to get my contacts set up within banks. You don’t have any suggestions for types of groups or national groups do you?

Check http://www.nationalreia.com and search your state. You should find a good one or two. Also, just talk with a bank rep or two in your area and ask if they work with real estate investors. The best ones to deal with are investors themselves. They know what kind of issues you face and can better assist you.
