If I was starting out again.

#1 - Find a hungry agent that doesn't mind wasting time submitting extreme lowball offers to boatloads of REOs (Works maybe 5% of the time, but if you make 100 offers you're good to go).

#2 - Start calling  FSBOs and people off craigslist/facebook/etc that are selling their houses

#3 - Call every single person I know and ask for leads

    Hey Jon. I would say to hook up with an agent that could search for them via their off-market channels (e.g., relationships with other agents and professionals like lawyers and accountants). Another strategy is to find a place that just sold and would have been of interest to you. Then reach out to the agent to see if they have anything similar they know of brig for sale. Best of luck!

     Jon, what kinds of flips and what price point are you looking in? There are so many ways to find deals that have all worked for me in Columbus. Direct mail, cold calling, looking up emails online, etc. You have to ask what type of property do you want to buy and what does the criteria look like, then find out how you find those types of properties and get ahold of them.
