Closing an off market deal

[Phillip Davis]

Hey peeps, I hope you all are doing well and getting through these strange times! I have investment properties that I have purchased all through the MLS and a realtor. I started a driving for dollars campaign as those leads have dried up and have had good luck so far and have come to an agreement on one of the properties from it. I have not experienced closing an off-market deal without a realtor but would like to learn as I anticipate more deals this way. My assumptions are I sign a purchase agreement with the seller, get that to a title company, pay necessary funds and then close? Would someone with experience care to share a step by step process so that I can understand this better? I am investing in Michigan for reference as I know each state is a little different. Thanks!
