Creative ways for finding commercial deals?
I'm curious if anyone out there had any tips to share on creative ways or untraditional ways of finding off-market commercial deals.
Traditionally, we've pulled lists, drove for dollars and created relationships with brokers. In regards to the lists, we're using Propstream. Does anyone use other sources or have found that certain criteria are more successful than others?
Any and all information will greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I just started a direct mail campaign and got a call from an interested seller on an industrial property. Sent out about 100 hand addressed envelopes to my target properties. Too soon to tell how effective this will be but I’ve tried virtually everything else.
