In order to succeed as a real estate investor, it’s important for you to have a constant flow of sellers wanting to sell their properties at a bargain price. One method of locating these distressed sellers is to place your own newspaper ad under the real estate classified section to get distressed sellers to call you. Many times a distressed seller won’t take the initiative to advertise their property, so you need to be proactive in reaching them. You can run a simple three line ad indicating you buy homes for cash, in any condition, and that you can close quickly. Place this ad under the real estate wanted section of a large circulation newspaper as well as a local advertisement only paper. You can also place an ad under the money to loan section to lure property owners that are facing foreclosure.
You should run your classified ad seven days a week, not only on Sundays. Inquire about a discount for longer term advertising. For maximum exposure, try running the ad for at least six months to see if it works.
If you decide to purchase property in Orange County, you can find some great bargain properties by searching through Villa Park homes for sale.
