Will you consider zillow, redfin and trulia for your first deal.
I am about 2 weeks into BP and I analyze deals daily from pure MLS listings in the above mentioned websites. I want to get right in the process before I go into analysis paralysis mode. I thought about investing in some direct mailing services or just waiting out to see what post-covid has to offer, however it looks like that is going to take a little bit of time which I am not willing to wait out.
I like to fail fast than take very slow action which some may see as impatience . I have decided I will go with this listings and then try to negotiate the prices with the agents if the ROI is unreasonable. Does this seem like the proper approach?

Nothing wrong with MLS especially depending on the market. Negotiation is great but also don't make a bad name for yourself by offering 50% of list on properties that are clearly worth more than that.
