Hi, one of the best place is your classified section
in your local paper under the For Rent and the For Sale sections. Also don’t just look for the motivated seller, but create a lease option opportunity by educating the seller of its advantages.

I need a good ad to put in the paper to get people to let me lease/option there homes. Or if you can tell me what is the best method for finding these sellers that would help too.

I don’t think you’re going to find a magic set of words that you can run as an ad that’s going to get people calling you to lease/option their home to you. If this is your attempt you’re going to waste alot of money and frustrate yourself.
A better method is to target some likely candidates for a lease/option (some of the ones mentioned below) and either call them on the phone, or mail them a letter.

The “for rent” section
Expired listings
Any ad or any property with an out-of-state owner
Worn out landlords. Find them in court evicting their deadbeat tenants.
And like Joe Kaiser said below … which makes alot of sense … don’t look for L/O ads. You really want to find people who will let you create a good deal - not people who already have it all figured out already.
