Deal Flow - how do YOU generate leads?

[Account Closed]

Hello all, I'm finishing up my first live n' flip right now, and planning to have it on the market in early May. That said, I'm starting to look at how I can begin generating more potential deals. I will probably live n' flip again, but should have enough cash/financing to do a traditional flip as well (simultaneously). My question is, what strategies are YOU using to generate deal flow? It seems like everyone and their mother (no disrespect to any moms, just a figure of speech :)) is using direct mail marketing. I've also thought about using virtual assistants from abroad to ramp up cold calling. Beyond that, I tap into my personal network to let friends, family, colleagues etc. know what I'm doing and what I'm looking for. Essentially, I'd like to know if Im overlooking any other strategies. Looking forward to your input and responses! Thanks in advance, Taylor
