So far I have used mostly real estate agents and the classifieds. I am not convinced that is the best way to do it. (In this “heated” market, I am not even convinced that is a mediocre way to do it.)
If you live local (I don’t unfortunately), just keep your eyes peeled. Drive neighborhoods. Try out a different grocery store in a different area. Take a different route to/from work. (You get the idea.) Take down FSB numbers. Look for vacant or beat up properties etc.
A friend and I are interested in using the techniques found in CS materials here in Phoenix/Tempe AZ. Is there anyone out there who has tried it here in the Valley? I’d appreciate the feedback. Robin

I invest in Phoenix metro. Yes, it DOES work. The Phx market is quite hot right now so don’t get discouraged. It may take a little longer than normal to get an offer accepted. Just keep plugging.
Personally, I don’t find the Tempe/Scottsdale or Chandler markets attractive. Over-priced premium properties. I prefer the Mesa or Glendale or Central Phoenix areas. Email if you want.
