Off-market properties in Ohio

[Tyler Sheveas]

Hi all, I'm looking for off-market properties in Ohio. Specifically in Akron, Geneva, What do you recommend is the right way. Been only working on MLS so far. But the rate and prices are too high. I'm looking for a local expert. I've talked to a few agents off of zillow but they tried to sell to me, instead of being on the buyer side.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey Tyler, to find off-market deals, start by networking with local investors who may be looking to sell properties privately. Consider running direct mail campaigns targeting absentee owners or distressed properties in Akron, offering to buy directly. Joining local real estate investment groups can connect you with wholesalers who specialize in off-market deals. Also, work with an investor-friendly agent who understands your needs and can proactively find off-market opportunities for you. These strategies will help you uncover deals outside the MLS, especially in Akron where off-market opportunities can be more common.
