I am a newbie investor and have a duplex in Spokane. I would like to explore Fix-Flip option. I am looking for guidance on how to find good leads (may be off market), general (and specific) things to keep in mind

Go to local REIA meetings to network with agents and wholesalers. Let them know your interests and have them bring you deals. While you are new, it might be good to make friends with a real estate agent to guide you on analyzing deals because you want to get advice from someone you can trust and someone looking out for your best interest and not just their own. Some wholesalers will help guide you as well, but you have to be careful because they are trying to sell their deals and will shine the light to make them look as good as possible. Especially if they know you are new and inexperienced.
