I am curious what everyone's favorite initial indicator is for going after their deals.
It seems like the most common one mentioned by all of the top people in the space is delinquent taxes which is something I have never really looked at.
For over 25 years...foreclosures have been my favorite arena to operate in and what I spend 90% of my time on. We target them specifically and find that when they have additional problem markers (dead owners/no probate, abandoned probate, large liens or judgments) they present great opportunities that most other investors walk away from because they don't know how to deal with these problems.
A distant second place would be deals that have fallen out of contract due to title issues.
How about you? What is your favorite place to start the hunt?
