Searching for properties... methods?
Okay what are some good systems for searching for deals? I'm looking to buy ASAP as soon as I find the right deal. But I'm getting bogged down looking through MLS listings and zillow.
The way I do it right now, I look through my most recent MLS updated listings, if I see something that looks promising I type it into zillow and compare to comps by price per square foot. If it's not at least 20k - 30k under value I move on.
Keep in mind, my strategy is to move (along with the roomates that live and rent from me), sell my existing house, and live in the new one for 2 years then sell that one.
I know this is kind of a general, broad post, but just seeing if anyone has any input, or ideas how to get access to more access (ie. foreclosure listings or something that not everyone and their mother has access to like the MLS.
Thanks guys!
