How to purchase off market: details

[Sarah Buchanan]

Hello! I currently own and.self manage 4 single family homes, all of which I purchased off the MLS with the help of an agent. But the market is now such that I need to find off market deals. I'm familiar with the methods for finding ( driving for dollars, direct mail, etc) but I'd like to know details for how to purchase on my own without an agent. Eg I know I need a purchase and sale agreement, would also plan to get a home inspection, and would plan to have a title company do a search on the title, and then help us with the sale. But for anyone who has purchased off market before, would you be willing to spell out the actual process for buying once you've found the off market deal? Thank you in advance!
