      Nice to meet you @Karl Cauli, we have recently started working with some wholesalers, looking to get into that myself, any suggestions on finding off market properties? I know cold calling and postcards have worked for some people

       So far as I know driving for dollars can be effective, especially looking for those distressed properties in your local area and cold calling or leaving postcards like you mentioned. I've seen other wholesalers use bandit signs and driving for dollar apps. 

      I've also learned networking is very important. Never enough contacts to find deals and execute.

       Yes I know we are trying to build a network currently, what is driving for dollars?
