Creating Consistent Deal Flow

[Wyatt Simon]

Hi BP, 

I am looking to increase my deal flow. Last year, after MANY offers, I was able to put together 1 BRRRR using the MLS in my Omaha market. However, I have not been able to make this a repeatable success and I am getting burnt out on this method.

What I'm looking to accomplish is create something that I can get sustainable deal flow through. I have been doing some research and speaking other investors about what the best way to do this for me is. 

What I've gathered so far is that I need to get a list of properties that I am seeking and go after them. I do have a specific area that I'm targeting in my market, so I've narrowed down where I want to invest, now I need to purchase a list. I can then choose how I want to attack the list, whether direct mail, cold call, or hand-written letters. 

So now that you understand my situation, here are my questions: 

For investors that are already using lists, what are the best places to find a list and what key criteria do you use to make your list?
