Buying below market value

I am trying to find rental property for investing whether Single-family or Multi-family (4 units max). However, I am trying to accomplish this task by purchasing under market value (every investor dream). Currently not sure where to find such deals, would love any input from BP community members

Are you making low offers on distressed properties? How many properties are walking? Are you spending money on lead generation? Who knows you're a buyer?

This is where we find opportunities. Nothing else really works for BRRRR or flipping .

 Jaron, I have done none of the things you asked about and this is making me think more. Thank you!

 Right now in 2024, in most good markets, I can confidently say you will NOT FIND anything below market value that's nice. It's either distressed with value add opportunity based on seller motivation, or priced at or above real market value. Pick your poison.

That is a good point. Most of the under market properties that I have looked at are distressed porperties

 Any luck finding anything? Same boat as you! Propwire is free and similar to propstream. Thinking of using that.

Sam, BP put out a good podcast on June 17th talking about how to find undervalued properties in any market. It was pretty good and explains how to do this. It is episode 972.

    Nothing beats prospecting to find deals:

    1) driving for dollars

    2) door knocking

    3) cold calling

    The great thing about #3 is that it can be handed off to a VA once you get busy, I know I run a Real Estate Call Center.
