Where; off market. Through contacts. Reia meetings. Mom and pop sellers that are old and ready to get out of the business. Driving for dollars. Cold calling places for rent and asking if they’d rather sell.
My last three properties never hit the MLS. 2 of 3 weren't for sale until I talked with owner. Now, none of this means you're getting them for 70% value or you're stealing them from the owner. But it's better than a bidding war after a massive showing to many buyers.

It's not every property like it used to be, but we're still seeing some decent returns here in Memphis even with list prices at insane highs for many units. Off-market units are creeping up higher as well, but there are the occasional gems if you're a patient buyer.

@Victoria S. There are lots of deals out there. But only for cash buyers. In this market you have to buy distressed, and pay cash to get anything with meat on the bone.
Even further south. Went all the way to Klamath Falls. They have a great property management company down there. Giving it a shot. Will continue to purchase if things go well
