Finding your first or next deal doesn’t have to be complicated.

Finding your first or next real estate deal doesn’t have to be complicated.

It really comes down to 4 things:

1. FIND an opportunity.

2. TALK to the seller.

3. OFFER based on the numbers.

4. FOLLOW UP until something changes.

That’s the business.

FIND → TALK → OFFER → FOLLOW UP

Stop waiting until you know everything.

Start getting reps.

Action comes before confidence

Travis — this is the right shape. The part that usually stalls people is “find an opportunity” turning into cold lists instead of what’s already on the public record.

In Broward I’ve been matching clerk foreclosure notices to the BCPA folio before talking numbers. Live example I’m sitting with (not under contract — just the packet facts): 4253 SW 124 Terrace, Miramar, folio 514035141360, clerk sale Sep 22 2026, BCPA just value $465,190. That’s enough to decide whether a conversation is even worth the time.

If you’re hunting a first or next deal, start with the notice + assessor sheet before you burn cycles on outreach.

      Where do I find the notice and assessor sheets?

    That is a clean way to put it. Finding the opportunity, talking to the seller, making an offer based on real numbers, and then following up is how most deals actually get done. People wait for perfect knowledge and miss the reps that teach them the rest.

    The follow up part is what separates the ones who close from the ones who just look. Same idea holds in management and investing. Conversations and consistency open more doors than sitting on the sidelines until everything feels certain.

    Appreciate the reminder.

    Agreed. Put as many deals through your pipeline. Offer and eventually you will close on a deal
