BC, if you want models join Models Mayhem you will find plenty of models many who will be willing to either pose for a fee, or someone new who will be willing to swap time time for cd/prints. You can also get access to local Make up artists/stylists on there too.
As for locations, there are loads of old buildings that you can get access to if you ask, check out some Urbex sites, bet there is a group near you too

Can't help you, with finding more time though
