Where do you find deals and investment companies?

[Marlen Weber]

Hi all,

I am curious to know, other than BiggerPockets, where do you all find deals and investment properties? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Building relationships with agents that specialize in your product type in the areas you are looking to purchase is a good way to find deals. Especially ones that know a lot of different owners and aren't afraid to make calls to those owners. It's not guaranteed they will always have what you are looking for but once they come across something, particularly off market, you can make it where you are the first one they will call especially if you show them you can perform on the close.

When I first got started in brokerage, I found out which investors were the serious buyers quickly after sending great deals and they would snatch it up right away. At the same time, I found out who the tire kickers were, where it seemed like the deal was never good enough for them. As I always say, the great deals always goes to the ones who can perform and has the most meaningful relationships.
