10 Ways To Find Investment Beach Property

Want to improve your odds at finding investment beach properties? It's a numbers game. The more offers you make the better your chances of finding that bargain beach property. Here are 10 tips to help you find more opportunities in investment beach properties.

1. Talk. Let people know you are looking and sometimes the properties will come to you. There are a lot of owners out there who want to sell, but haven't yet listed their property.

2. Use the internet. Go to a search engine and enter the type of beach properties you are looking for, along with the city you want to invest in. You never know what you might find.

3. Drive through your target neighborhoods. May owners will put up a "For Sale By Owner" rather than pay for a newspaper ad every week. You'll see more beach properties using this method.

4. Locate beach properties that have been abandoned. This is a pretty clear sign that the owner can't or just doesn't want to care for the beach property any more.

5. Search for old "For Rent" ads. Call the landlord to see if he would be willing to sell. The worst thing he can say is no. the landlord may be willing to entertain a legitimate offer.

6. Talk to bankers. You might get a foreclosed-on investment beach property cheaper if you buy it before they list it with a real estate agent.

7. Hire a bird dog. A bird dog is referred to someone you pay a fee to for finding good deals. Let them bring you deals. This works good for areas you can't canvas on a regular basis.

8. Eviction notices. Do you know someone at the courthouse? Does your local paper publish eviction notices? The landlord might have just become a motivated seller.

9. Log any FSBO ads. Keep a log of any "For sale By Owner" ads. Watch the beach properties to see if they have sold. Once they a two or three months old and haven't sold, they many be more receptive to your purchase offer.

10. Use the local news paper. By placing an ad in the paper the you are looking to buy beach properties, you may generate some calls from people who have become extremely motivated sellers.
