How are you guys filtering deals faster right now?

Been spending a lot of time lately looking at deals across different markets and I keep running into the same issue it’s not really finding deals, it’s filtering them.

There’s a ton of stuff on places like Zillow and Realtor.com, but 80–90% of what I see just doesn’t make sense once you actually break it down.

What I’ve been trying to get better at is narrowing things down faster based on:

buy box (price, location, strategy)

  • days on market / price drops
  • basic underwriting (rough rehab + ARV to see if there's even margin)

Basically trying to get to a point where I’m only spending time on deals that are actually worth a second look.

Curious how others are handling this right now:

Are you manually going through listings every day, or do you have some kind of system/process that helps you filter faster?

Would be interesting to hear what’s working for people in this market.

    Hey Paul, 

    I started using deal check (https://dealcheck.io/) to underwrite deals faster. 

    I plug in the address and it has my defaults for expenses. It also pulls sales and rent comps. 

    It's been super helpful for me. Hope it helps you!

    Deal Machine added an active lien list thats pretty powerful! I am not going through public listings. If im connecting with agents, its for pocket listings.
