In a down market, what can you do to find the "screaming" deals?

With inventory increasing in all parts of the real estate market, how do you find the “screaming” deals? Talk to Brokers, talk to Bankers, look for foreclosures, watch for price reductions?? That’s what Peak Brokers do all the time. But talk is always just that. The best way to get a “screaming deal” on a property that you feel has good long term investment potential (3 to 5 years), is to make a written offer at a price you feel reflects the market and your motivation to own that property
