As someone who is just getting started in the world of filmmaking, there are certain things that I lack the funds for when producing a film, like a location scout. Since I'm taking on the role of location scout for my next project, what are some tips when searching for the perfect location that will fit in my budget.

I'd suggest going back a step - when you're writing your screenplay (or arranging to direct/produce someone else's), keep in mind what locations you're likely to have access to. Would a restaurant that you eat at/bar that you drink at let you shoot? Does a friend have a creepy basement or attic that would be perfect for a thriller? Thinking about it that way will make it easier.
