@James Meyer - thanks for posting. Honestly, aside from a respectable marketing budget and follow-up strategy to source off-market deals, the best way to find viable deals is to attend local REI groups with lots of business cards because, where not impossible and actually doable, the MLS is most definitely NOT the best source, especially for fix and flip. For example, @Travis Sperr has regular Meetups that are well attended and full of networking opportunities. 

This said, @Colin Smith hit it on the head. The best way to get timely, reliable listing date is to connect with a REALTOR and I would add, one who understands investor speak.

All the best in your endeavors. Feel free to connect.

@Chris Nelson - thanks for posting. Determined to help clients use real estate to build long term wealth, if you were my client I'd ask you consider renting it out if market rents will provide a 10% return or better after expenses including management. If so, I'd then ask you consider taking advantage of owner occupant financing to rinse and repeat, and/or consider pulling out any lazy equity to fund subsequent purchases, all the way to funding your retirement, or your child's college years or...whatever is important to you at that time. 

Feel free to connect and, all the best in your endeavors.

Hi @Lainnie Daley - nice to see you on BP! Please tell hubby I said hey.

@Chris Steil - Thanks for posting and, welcome to BP. You will soon see the incredible resource you've stumbled upon.

One of the leading, investor minded brokerages along the Front Range, we have a unique selling proposition - focus on financial autonomy to help clients build long term wealth with real estate. Besides providing a true turnkey solution to acquire, I consider it a privilege to provide outstanding service well after the sale.

Feel free to connect.

Thanks @Canneton Howard! 

@Becky Reid - Those are some pretty lofty numbers your friend has! It's no wonder things are tough. Not to mention, cash on cash return doesn't account for principal reduction, a critical factor to consider with rentals.

A more realistic target might be something that provides a 10% total equity return or better, and even those aren't exactly easy to find. However, I manage to find one or two a week, and will be happy to put you on my serious buyer's list, same way I earned the privilege of working with Canneton.

Come out to Colorado Technical University on Tuesday and we'll share our secret sauce. Click here to RSVP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/36....

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Thanks @Canneton Howard. It's my privilege to work with you.

Team work makes the dream work, @Canneton Howard. Congratulations on taking the plunge. May you do so many times over, each more successful than those before.

@Audra Dailing - Thanks for asking. I am with Atlas Real Estate Group. 

Hi @Audra Dailing! Thanks for posting. With increasing prices and rent, Colorado Springs is a great place to start your REI endeavor, especially for buy and hold. And I don't say that because it's our focus, but because the flipping/wholesale model is a little hard to accomplish in the current, seller's market we're in. This said, ours is a turnkey solution to include sourcing and acquiring the asset, helping to manage the rehab, finding and placing a tenant then managing the asset for as long as you'll have us. Of course, the opportunity to self-manage is always an option. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid when you close and unlimited consultations are always available.

We're having a meeting this Tuesday, Nov 15th. It's free to attend and offers food, drinks (including cocktails), along with networking before and after. There'll be no pressure to buy into anything besides excellent service and a commitment to your success. Please click here to RSVP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/36....

Hope to see you there. Feel free to connect!
