There are several tools and resources you can use to find real estate deals, including:

  1. Online real estate marketplaces: Websites like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com can help you search for properties based on your location, price range, and other criteria.
  2. Real estate agent: A knowledgeable and experienced agent can help you find properties that fit your investment goals and negotiate deals on your behalf.
  3. Direct mail marketing: Sending postcards or letters to homeowners who may be interested in selling can help you find off-market deals.
  4. Auction websites: Websites like Auction.com and Hubzu.com offer online auctions for foreclosed properties and distressed sales.
  5. Networking: Building relationships with other investors, real estate professionals, and industry experts can help you find off-market deals and stay informed about market trends and opportunities.
  6. Real estate investment groups: Joining a local real estate investment group can provide access to networking opportunities, education, and resources to help you find deals.
  7. Social media: Following real estate-related accounts on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn can help you stay up-to-date with industry news and trends and potentially uncover new investment opportunities.

Using a combination of these tools and resources can help you find the best real estate deals for your investment goals and strategy.

    @Michael Leccese pretty general question. Can you clarify with more details? My quick answer is the MLS.

    Deals are found where there is motivation. Think to yourself, what kind of sellers would be motivated to sell?

     The only thing I would add to this list is cold calling and cold texting. I have found so many good deal through doing that. I try to cold call every week for multiple hours.
