Finding Fourplexes - Offmarket - Seller Financing

[Alex F.]

Hello, my name is Alex, I’m from Cincinnati. I have recently purchased my first duplex and am currently house hacking. I live in an area that is flooded with multi families and I am currently brain storming on how to acquire my own. Bank financing might be out of the picture for my next purchase, so I’m trying to find a seller financed, off market deal - or a cash deal.

I am trying to generate leads by looking up multi families in my area on the county auditor - hoping to find a tired landlord and reaching out through direct mail. I realize that this system is pretty inefficient. I'm looking for advice on any other ways to generate leads. Any experience on reaching out to multi family owners other than direct mail? Anything on MLS is out of question at this point due to not being bank loan approved and without a realtor. I'm pretty sure I could round up money for a cash offer or do a seller financed deal.
