Quote from @Shawn McCormick:

@Emmanuel A. Welcome and congrats for getting back in it. There are a few of ways to find off market deals. One is joining and attending local meetups and REIA's. CFRI is having their main monthly meeting this Tuesday near downtown and there are wholesalers there (along with all other types of investors and trades). Second would be to simply google something like 'sell my house fast in orlando'...you'll get tons of results and many will be from out of state, but sign up for their email lists. Third, there are several Facebook groups locally that post deals all the time. And then, of course, you can do you own marketing, but lists, driving for dollars, calling FSBO or expired listings and much more. Hook up with divorce or probate attorneys, go to auctions, estate sales...these are things that wholesalers can't or won't do, so less competition.

Hope this helps, best of luck.


 Thanks Shawn!! just now seeing this reply two years later but I've definitely caught the bug. I'll be reaching out soon!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in this forum. I just closed on my third duplex that I'm currently house hacking in the Orlando area. Doing it the slow and steady way, convential loans, finding my deals in the MLS.

I'm just getting back into buy and hold real estate after getting burned during the 2008 financial crisis. I'm currently submitting an offer for a duplex I'm going to house hack. I've got about 150K to invest in more properties after this deal and wanted to know if anyone has any advice or connections for finding off market deals in Orlando Florida. I look on Zillow almost everyday and with todays rates I never find anything that cash flows. I've tried submitting a seller financing offer for the aforementioned duplex but they declined. Unfortunately my realtor is in South Florida and for anyone that says I need to find someone more local, I'm aware of that as well. I'm just looking to see if there is anything less obvious to a newbie that can find off market deals. Anyone please help!
