Finding the Deal

[Robert Blazer IV]

I'm sure this is something that has been asked before, but I'm just joining the site, and the number of forum posts is a bit overwhelming. I'm wondering what the best ways to find deals are when you're starting out. Sites like Zillow? Realtors? What is the best tool to find good value?

Thanks for any help.

@Robert Blazer IV it is daunting, I typically look for the worst house on a good street. Look for the ones that are overgrown and and likely vacant.   I was able to do just that with my first house, Pink house with green roof and 3 foot tall grass.  I was able to flip it and sold it to a relative at a discount and still made 50K on it. I wouldn't use that as your only means for finding property but it often pays out when you find one.
