How to find off-market deals

[Greg Koszkul]

Other than driving for dollars and looking up county records of vacant properties, what are some effective ways to find off-market properties before they are listed on the MLS?

@Greg Koszkul I know a lot of people use propstream to build out lists. You should be able to build a list for pre-foreclosure, tax foreclosures, probate, as well as a few others. If you go to propelio's website, they have an academy section with a free course on wholesaling. Some great ideas for types of list you can put together for a direct mail marketing campaign. There's also a lady on YouTube (This Mom Flips by Lauren Hardy) who has videos on virtual wholesaling. I'm going to start studying her content this weekend when I have more time.

I'd suggest doing a bit of research on other strategies right now and get a real clear idea of what you want to attack and how. A lot of big time investors are predicting a pretty big influx of foreclosures coming in 2021 with everything thats currently going on. The better educated you are, the more opportunities you'll have. Make sure to have a solid buyers list as well.
