deals are slipping through my fingers

[Kyle Z.]

In the last couple weeks I have found multiple great deals on the MLS (mostly foreclosures). The last two I found the same day they were posted and called the selling agent the same day. On both occasions, I set up a walk through at their earliest convenience so I am almost positive no one else could had before me (at least not with the selling agent). Again, on both occasions, before we could even walk through the property, the deal already had multiple offers made and was basically already tied up.

My question -  Am I losing these deals to other investors that are not even walking through the properties nor having them inspected? Is this normal?

I feel like I am finding home runs but before I can even look at the property they are tied up.
