Reality of finding off-market duplex

Kyle McGrath
  • Jacksonville, FL
Posted

Hello BP family! 

I linked up with a great realtor in my market (Jacksonville, FL) and waiting to pull the trigger on a multifamily property. 

With that said, is there anything that can truly be done to find an off-market deal (this market is HOT), or just sit and wait for my realtor to bring us a property.

I will be using an FHA loan, so I know that will add an element to finding a suitable deal.

Thanks for your time!

@Kyle McGrath

The surest way not to find an off market deal is to sit and wait for your realtor.

Start going to investor meetups in your area.

Get on some wholesalers email list.

Do some marketing campaign

Start cold calling

Driving for dollars

Even if you try all of these there still is no guarantee that you will find one but I can almost guarantee you that

an off market property is not just going to drop in your lap out of the sky.  You need to be proactive if you want to find one.

I hope this makes sense.  There is no off market fairy god mother that just gives them to you.

Good luck!
