Finding Off Market Deals

Just wanted to ask what are people doing to find off market deals in your market? Other than bandit signs which are illegal in my market. I have also been sending out postcards, yellow letters, posting on CL and started advertising in the local paper.

@Tyrone Watler Have you considered farming the phone numbers on your list with skip trace tools and dialing potential sellers directly? Within my company we touch every lead a minimum of 7 times sometimes we contact up to 12 times. I have started using this technique and it has helped my direct mail gain recognition and also i have found motivated sellers through my skip tracing and cold calling efforts. What has work for me in the past is just picking a few target zip codes pulling how many cash sales are in that area then deciding if It would be a good area for me to farm numbers and start calling around to gauge motivation! I then set followup sequences inside of my CRM which notifies me when its time to give a cold lead a ring again.I've seen my response rate go from a 1-2% to around a 4-7% increase when i added cold calling! I hope this helps you out if you have any questions feel free to message me!
