How are you currently finding your deals?

[Katlynn Teague]

Good morning BP,

How are you currently finding your deals? 

Are you using an agent, wholesaler, Zillow or Propstream?

Have you found one outlet to be more successful than the other?

Most of the deals I have bought have been right off the MLS. If an agent sends me the deal, I'll have them represent me. If I find the deal myself (on Zillow or driving around) then I'll just call up the listing agent and have them "represent" me.

I've found when I call the listing agent directly I end up with a better deal. When the listing agent gets both sides of the commission they will usually offer the seller a commission discount, which then makes my offer more attractive than other buyers who come in with their own agent.
