Hi Jace,

That can be really subjective, some people find it really easy and have more deals than they can handle. Others can't seem to find a good deal anywhere. It all comes down to practice, consistency, and repetition. There may be better ways to find good deals but if you look at Redfin and Zillow every day and analyze properties, you will start to find good deals.

The other thing to consider is sometimes you have to MAKE a good deal. The house you saw listed for $150k... if the numbers don't work for you, figure out what purchase price would make this property a good deal. $130k? Make an offer, explain your reasoning for that number, and you will be surprised how many sellers want to have a conversation with you- especially in this transitioning market.
