Deal Analysis - Ways to Find Deals While Working Full-Time

[Jacob Lee]

I'm currently working a full-time job but have been spending my mornings and nights searching for and analyzing deals. Out of all the different ways to search for properties and generate leads (MLS, Direct Mail, etc) which one seems to have a high success rate in your opinion? Driving for dollars is almost impossible for me except on weekends and recently it's been difficult to find anything on the MLS. Finding off market deals is where I'm stuck...Any thoughts?

@Jacob Lee, MLS is a low probability bet because everyone has access to it and it's full of intense competition. "Deals" aren't really deals because even beat up properties are selling at a premium. You need to go off-market if you want to find deals. Looking for 'deals' where everyone else is looking is not a good use of time.
