Currently own one rental property and looking to grow using the BRRR method. Curious to methods people use to find distressed properties or is it truly just searching through listings on zillow/Redfin etc

Hey @Daniel Casey!

I second @Greg Dickerson on this one. Online lead generation is a great way to get your business in front of motivated sellers with distressed properties. Instead of you having to look for them, they are actively looking for you and the service that you provide. You can use the website as a "sales person" to direct all kinds of marketing channels through like Google Ads, FB Ads, and even direct mail pieces. 

Many of the investors that I work with start with a motivated seller site, run Google Ads to start generating leads ASAP, and then get started on an SEO strategy to get themselves onto page 1 organically. It's a solid 1-2 punch for passively generating leads for distressed properties. Hope this helps!
