Two MLS, then a random auction I happened upon, then two more MLS.
But... my next deal may very well be the result of Driving for Dollars and a yellow letter sent to the owner. Actually, that may be the next 3 deals... Plus one from a friend who doesn't want to deal with MLS traffic.

2 directly from home owners - one referred by friend, the other tracked down an absentee owner.
2 from trustee sale
1 MLS
And a side note, the most profitable were the 2 from home owners and the least profitable was the MLS.

The last 4 transactions have been through brokers that we have worked with for 8+ years in the LA area. All pocket listings. The 5th one was a referral from my attorney.

The last one...Craigslist-advertised as under market..and it was
One before that: Craigslist-owner found me and wanted out fast
One before that: Craigslist-distressed owner found me
One before that: HUD property
One before that: MLS listed property
Working on one that I may lock up this week: if it works out...Craigslist
Now you know why I encourage people to use CL:)

I have a team of bird dogs and call 10 agents per day looking for the great white whale ..... I mean deal.
I have been working on getting a vurtual assistant to provide my team with hand picked "Glenn Gary" type leads to get the team out working and fill in the rest with our regular lead source. Our company believes that activity breads activity.

I watched a duplex sit on the market for nearly a year. Then after doing the numbers, and getting through the negotiation. At the closing table the seller offered to sell 4 more properties all on seller financing.

I have a question for the Realtors: Is it better to be a Real Estate Agent? In other words every time I tell a Realtor that we are investors I don't hear from them again. We are new in the business and is getting hard for us to find a property?
