Advice on Finding Off-Market Deals

Aaron Bard

Hey Everyone,

At the moment, I'm looking for properties in a specific location, but the MLS is dry.

How, and where, do I go to find off-market deals and property owners that may consider selling?

I don't fully understand the non-MLS side of things.

Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Don't spend money on marketing before you get your first deal. Rule #1: Don't lose money!
