Thank you both for the suggestions.

Hey BiggerPockets fam. I was looking to see if anyone had any recommendations for real estate books that I could pick up at the book store to help increase my knowledge? Any recommendations/ personal fav would be very helpful. Thank you

Hi BiggerPockets Fam,

Im learning the way to Real Estate investing. I Have made connections with a lot of buyers and sellers. Im starting to realize that most buyers prefer off Market Properties. I am helping those buyers find these off market properties. But most of the properties I have came across have been on MLS. How do I find sellers, or ways to find leads for off market properties? This is the missing link to my equation of hopefully becoming a successful investor. Also how can I determine if a property is off market or not?

Any help would be amazing! thank you

I am beginning to dig in more into wholesaling. I was wondering what are the best ways to market to find motivated sellers? Any suggestions would help. Thanks :)

Thank you for that @Steven J.  Ive recently been taking action. Maybe its time to do some more reading.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on marketing for distressed/ motivated seller. I am only familiar with driving around for dollars (looking for distressed properties) and posting up signs that i buy houses for cash. I was wondering if there were any other techniques for a new wholesaler to add to his arsenal.

Im still very new. I have contacted a few properties but I am not 100% if my way is the way to go about it. Im looking to learn the professional way of how to market/ and go after deals to get under contract with an appropriate deal to give to a buyer. I would love to build rapport and strong relationships with anyone looking to mentor/ coach and of course there time is valuable and would to find a way that can compensate them for their time! hope to hear from you guys :)

Hey man, i appreciate the advice @Account Closed !! I will most definitely have to look into the meetings, kind of starting too look for a mentor, so i can stop with all this trial and error lol. Im not to sure exactly if they are exactly deals or not, however i will email you my list as of now. Still struggling on how to measure a properties value, ARV and repair costs.

Wow Thank you @Hattie Dizmond  and @Phil Hong for the information! That was powerful i will be sure to add these details to my guidelines. Should be able to apply this to search of buyers! Also its alright for me to just post in the market place? Im new, lol, learning as i go.

Thank you guys!

Hi im a new wholesaler in the Los Angeles area i have come in contact with properties i can get under contract, I've just been struggling with finding a buyer. How can i conquer this obstical?!
