Finding good open houses?

[Rita Lo]

Hi all,

I've been looking to purchase a good investment property in the NoVa region. So far, I've visited a few open houses in the area, and I get suggestions from a program called Listingbook that my realtor subscribed me on. However, it only suggests 1-3 open houses every weekend - and usually, these properties have been on the market for a while, and are on the higher end of the price spectrum.

Surely there are more prolific sources where we could find more open houses/good deals as soon as they hit the market? I feel like the current tool is useful for homeowners casually buying a home, but not investors looking for good deals. Where do you guys usually look?

Thanks.
