Where do you find your investment properties?

Rachel Dickinson
Posted

Where do you find your investment properties? I've been listening to podcasts and reading forums and articles and I keep finding conflicting information. Some say not to use the MLS, but others claim that's where they find all their deals. I've also heard about wholesalers for long distance investing. Is it truly a case-by-case situation? My husband and I are looking to buy our first property this year. Thanks you!

Hey Rachel,

The answer is -EVERYWHERE. Use the MLS, use wholesalers, invest out of state. What I mean by this is, you can find deals anywhere. There are pros and cons to each way which is why you find conflicting information.

I would start by connecting with someone in the area you're looking to invest whether that be in state or out of state. Whom you contact would really be dependent on you and your husbands goals. What strategy do you intent to use? Buy and Hold? Fix and Flip? BRRRR?
