How do you find deals?

[Christy Philippoff]

What is your favorite way to find deals? We have some money to invest and would be able to make a cash offer for a couple of houses. We've bought one house from the courthouse steps. We just sold our other house we flipped and are currently house hacking the foreclosed house. I know a lot of people do mailings, but my husband and I work and wouldn't be very efficient at answer phone calls, plus talking on the phone is one of my least favorite things in the world and am perfectly capable of admitting my inadequacies in this department!! We've put in a couple offers off MLS but none have gotten accepted. We've written letters using the driving for dollars method and no luck there either!! Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
