Best property acquisition strategy for 2-3 properties a year

[Karla Kahmeyer]

Hello BP Nation - 

My business plan is currently built on a measured acquisition approach of purchasing only 2-3 properties a year (and planning to use BRRRR when possible). In the opinion of the more experienced than I, what's the best approach for deal location when I'm not looking to scale fast? Do I plan for 2-3 direct marketing campaigns a year to try and find those deals, or should I use wholesalers, bird dogs, auctions, MLS (or something I'm not even considering) since its such a small number? of targets

Thoughts?
