Ideas to find a Quad plex off market?

[Duane Gunkler]

Long story short, I am looking to get into the Real Estate Investing world. After my divorce, I moved into an apartment and rented for a couple years. Wanted to get involved in RE last year, but wasn't able to find anything that worked out, so I purchased a SFH so that I could at least stop paying rent. What I really wanted to do was get a Quad Plex and house hack three of the units for a year, and then move out and rent all four as I moved on to the next property. Well, a year is coming up, so now I am looking for a quad again to do that, but the inventory is so limited, and the ones that are available now aren't really in the area I want or the price range I think they're worth to make sense for me. Any advice/suggestions on how the best way to find an off-market quad in my area?

Thank you in advance!
