One of the most difficult things for new real estate investor is finding real estate investing deals. In fact, there are some experienced investors that continue to have this problem, even after working at it for several years. Although it can be difficult to find real estate investing deals, it is not entirely impossible.

The first thing that investors must do to find deals is lose the mentality that a fairy will allow deals to fall in your lap. Did you notice any deals coming to you before you were an investor? Why should you attract more deals after you start real estate investing? The answer is that you won’t. To find real estate investing deals you have to look for them. Some of the more traditional ways are knocking on doors, which is very effective technique, but you have to either walk from one house to another or hire someone to do it for you. Either way, either you or someone else has to go through a tedious process.

One of the more recent, 21st century technique to find real estate investing deals is by using the power of the Internet. The Internet can and will allow you to have motivated seller contacting you instead of you chasing them. So how do you go about doing that? Well, there are several ways to approach this process.

One way is to set up an AdWords campaign on Google. AdWords are those tiny ads you see at the top and right sides of your screen when doing searches on Google. People pay certain amount for each ad and Google posts them on each and every single page. There is a lot of different criteria that go into creating a successful AdWords campaign that I just cannot get into it here. It would take me page and pages trying to explain it to you. I do have a valuable Internet resource on my website that is specifically optimized for real estate investors.

Try running real estate investing newspaper ads. Many investors don’t purchase ads because they are deemed as being expensive. Think about it like this: all it takes is one real estate investing deal for you to come up with the money to pay for an entire year of ads. Sound better? It should. The best place for your ad is in the “Money To Lend” section of the newspaper. When foreclosure is looming, many homeowners want to borrow the money to save their home. Once you receive a phone call from a potential distressed seller, you can begin working your real estate investing magic.

How would you like to find out about an alternate Internet resource that lets you post those same ads for free? Well there is such a resource and many people oversee the power it holds. it is one of the biggest and most popular sites on the Internet and is specifically targeted to your local market. it doesn’t get any easier to find real estate investing deals than this. This free resource
is called craigslist. Just type that into Google and it will be there, trust me. The you just go to your local market and post your ads.

Don’t think that because it’s not raining real estate investing deals that there are none out there. There are plenty of deals all around you, you just have to look for them. Until you establish your reputation, you have to do the work it takes to find deals in real estate investing deals. People won’t just bring them to you right off. Do the work that other investors aren’t willing to do. Soon enough you’ll find yourself with more deals than you can handle.
