Another how/where to find good deals on RE

[Jimmy Rojas]

Im located in Phx,Az and helping my father buy a home to live in, he is a cash buyer has disposable -$250000 and can get additional loan but prefer not to, he is basically looking in Phx and surrounding areas residential home, 8k sqft + lot, 1k sqft+ home, 2brd +, in livable condition from get go, nothing south of camelback rd.

We been doing it wrong so far, i have access to MLS and just been looking for good deals, next step is to work with a good RE agent and be specific with what we want, I know there are good deals out there fitting my fathers description because i seen sold RE in MLS , the thing is where to find these deals as by the time they hit MLS they are gone.
