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.

Found success with absentee lists and cold calling/texting in our specific market. Next to this I’d agree with many points above.. networking! It works wonders. Getting FaceTime with investors in the area and letting them know you’re looking to wheel and deal they’ll look out for you when something comes up that they can’t buy.
Are you using an agent, wholesaler, Zillow or Propstream?
Have you found one outlet to be more successful than the other?
NEVER listed, NEVER a realtor, 80% wholesalers, ( let them do the hard work LOL ) other 20% from various sources. I get 20 a week sent to me. Locked up 25 in the last week or so, I already have them in contract with buyers. I can get as many as I want in my market,
All the best
How do you find the wholesalers? I am new to this so any guidance is appreciated.
