Finding First Flip in Seattle Area
Advice on finding my first deal for a flip?
I understand networking is key. I've joint local REI groups, but if I'm new to the game, what advice do you all have on finding deals?
Thanks in advance.

@Tanner Litchfield. I would....
1.Scour the MLS.
2.Reach out to every wholesaler you can find. Look for them on BP, We buy houses websites, Bandit signs, facebook, craigslist. (Just know how to analyze a deal. You will come across a lot of bad wholesalers with bad deals in your search)
3.Look for investor friendly realtors. BP is a good source.
4. After doing these steps when I started out, I was analyzing the deals coming in and then experimenting with finding deals myself.
I don't know your background, but be sure to know the construction side fairly well or bring a trusted contractor with you for wholesale stuff. Typically you have to act quick, without an inspection, and with a good chunk of non-refundable money down.
I Hope this helps!
