Originally posted by @Alan E.:
Am i wasting my time looking at sites like Trulia, Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com for investment rental properties?
If so, what online sources should i be focusing on?
Any input on the subject would be appreciated.
In most markets this late in the cycle, yes it is. Why?
1) Lots of competition in most markets
2) If there is truly a deal on MLS, people with auto-alerts set up that are full-time will likely get to it before you
3) People that know how to evaluate deals and pay all cash will snatch up the very few 'deals' there are on MLS
Since you're a new investor, it's better to go with other more reliable means of finding deals.

I can mentor you on how to use direct mail effectively to get you more deals for your real estate pipeline. Learn what works and what to avoid that will kill your response and conversion rate. If you need some help getting started, I can provide some guidance and send you a direct mail game plan, checklist of things to prepare to increase your chances of success, scripts on how to talk to different types of sellers, software to use for your real estate investing including customer relationship management (CRM) software, templates for your direct mail, contracts, calculators, etc.
Shoot me a message with your status on where you are in the process in your direct mail. It's important to say where you are so I can provide the right advice for your situation.
I've been helping many new wholesalers, flippers, and investors with increasing their deal flow. Message me with your background info and status on where you're at in your education process and I'm happy to mentor people that act and not just talk about what they're 'going to do', as I have some pretty awesome mentors myself and love to give back. Although this is free, I don't just mentor anyone. I've helped a lot of people so I can tell who the time-waster talkers are and see who are the ones that take action to get results.
