Brokers or Direct Mail?
Which do you think is better to find multifamily deals, brokers or direct mail? The reason why I ask is most people tell me to deal with brokers, but brokers don't seem to have deals all the time so I feel as if I was on a stand still waiting for them to come up with something and most of the time when they do the deal doesn't make very good financial sense. Also I would like to work directly with sellers due to brokers not allowing me to speak with them. What do you all think?

Sounds to me like you need a new broker.
