Today I want to talk about your best birddog. Who out there is on the streets every days, knows every vacant house on the market, and has their finger on the pulse of real estate? The mailman!

The mailman who walks your target market knows everything going on in the area. Talk to your mailman about potential leads. Give them a bonus for the information they gave you when you get a deal. They spend more time in the neighborhood than anyone else and are also most likely to know of vacant properties. This information is pretty useless for them, but for you it's priceless! Don't overlook this really valuable resource. You could drive for dollars, or you could ask the person who is basically driving for dollars every single day.
