Finding Good Deals in Such a Limited Market
With such a limited supply & overwhelming competition to follow, what are some recommendations for a beginner seeking good deals that will cash flow before and/or after interest rates drop? I have ran numbers on & looked at a handful of properties that just won’t work. Feedback appreciated.

@Noah Kellar what has worked for me the best is finding my own off market deals. As you said, everything on market is really overpriced. With that said, you need to start looking for properties with some type of distress. I suggest go into listsource.com and purchase a list from them based on your buying criteria. Then you can start sending mailers to home owners. If you don’t have much money, you can skiptrace that list free using websites like usphonebook and truepeoplesearch and cold call or send text messages. Make sure you get a google voice phone number to do it (it’s free). Reach out if you have any questions
