Your method to finding great deals

[Mitchell Berry]

Hello, everyone! I'm new to real estate and obviously have some questions I was hoping you all could help me with. I looked into wholesaling a while back and didn't really like the way it worked. I just graduated college in May and have a full time job and am saving money. I'm looking to do a house flip or rent properties and start within the next 6 months to a year. What's your process on finding good deals whether they be foreclosures, houses in need of rehab, or whatever? Thanks! -Mitchell

If you want to purchase off of the mls, then I would recommend finding a local real estate agent and telling them exactly what you are looking for. They can set you up to have properties fitting your criteria to be emailed to you the minute that they go onto the market. If you are interested in foreclosures, I also search hud, fannie mae, and freddie mac sites. You may also want to put out bandit signs saying that you buy houses and your phone number. This is a great and inexpensive way to find off market deals but you will get all kinds of calls. I've had people call that had copper and flooring ripped out of houses and all kinds of stuff. You just have to weed through  them to find what you are looking for.
