Stay away from Carlton Sheets and his brethren. If you insist, I will sell you one of their "real estate investors kits" cheap.

What service exactly would you be doing? You say "Locate the properties" - I don't understand what that means. If you mean, find properties listed for sale that meet a buyer's criteria, then essentially you're describing part of the job of a real estate agent. They search the MLS database using criteria given them by the buyer. And more and more, this function is being performed by the buyers themselves, as the MLS databases are made available online.
Keep in mind also that there is an old adage in business: "You have to spend money to make money". There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

What you want to do is called being an assistant to a Real Estate salesperson or broker. And there are such jobs. You can not sell real estate, but you would look up the FSBO's and get their names and phone numbers, print out the information, do some mailing, etc. Call the local Board of Realtors in your area. We often get notices of someone that sent in a resume to be an assistant. Good luck.

The best way is to get a job with a Realtor. You will have to take classes on real estate, pass them, and then pass the state licensing exam. That will get you into the industry. Most of those classes for flipping & no-money down are scams that don't contain enough information to get you started. The only one making money at that is the person who came up with the course. And he gets his money from selling the courses, not the real estate. You need money to invest in real estate.

When you find it let us all know. Nothing worth having or doing is free.
