Looking for Cost-Effective Tools for Finding Off-Market Deals

[Anthony Blanco]

Hey BiggerPockets Community,

I'm looking for some advice on finding off-market real estate deals. I know there are tools like PropStream and BatchLeads that offer a lot of features, but they can be a bit pricey, with monthly fees in the range of $100-$150. I'm wondering if there are any other tools or strategies you've found effective for sourcing off-market properties that might be more budget-friendly.

I've already identified my target market, and I'm hoping to find a tool that can help me implement my cold calling and marketing strategy to start generating some quality leads. Any recommendations or tips on what has worked for you would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's more about being connected within your market and community and less about finding the perfect tool.  How are other investors sourcing deals?  Do whatever they're doing.

With that said, though, is $100 a month really 'pricey'?  Sourcing off market deals yourself is going to require an investment...
