Finding Buy and Hold Deals in Missouri

[Bill Orf]

Hello All.  

My name is Bill and I'm new to the real estate investing world.  Real Estate has always interested me and I'm finally ready to jump in and start investing.

I'm primarily interested in buy and hold investing.  My issue has been finding the right deal. 

I have been using realtor.com and zillow to look for properties.  I know these are ok places to start, but I know there must be better ways to find GREAT deals in my area.

In what ways do you find a great buy and hold deal? 

Thanks!

Bill
