Off market deals!

[Amanda Moskowitz]

Hi - I am new obviously, but have been putting in my time researching, reading, learning, etc.  

Anyone have any advice on how to find the best off market deals?  I have joined numerous Facebook groups and connected with a few wholesalers.  Is it best to partner with real estate agents?  

Also, I consistently look at zillow (or similar sites) for properties just sitting on the market, motivated sellers, etc.  When analyzing most these deals none seem to make sense at all financially.  Im not looking for much cashflow day 1, but a buy and hold strategy for 5 plus years (as well as continuing this model to gain a few properties into my overall investment portfolio).

Fyi I am ideally looking in boca raton, deerfield, pompano or somewhere adjacent.  Either single family, duplex or triplex.

Thanks and if anyone has any good connections or would like to connect let me know.
