Finding Off Market Properties

[Kyle Schroeder]

Hey Everyone!

I was wondering what your best strategy is to find off market properties.  We are all looking for that home run deal that nobody knows about for ourselves or our clients.  Over the past year, I have found some creative ways to find these deals.  My favorite strategies include but are not limited to; running Facebook ads, calling rental ads on Craigslist, and placing signs near major freeway on/off ramps.  What are your go-to strategies to finding off market properties?

@Kyle Schroeder As @Chris Webb said, mail is a great way to find off market leads. However, I would recommend getting a relationship with a list broker to help you get owners who share motivating factors for selling a home. It's much less time consuming than knocking on doors or driving around and looking at properties.

Some lists I'd recommend you consider would be Owners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS), Seniors with Long-Time Ownership and of course the ever popular Absentee Owners with Equity.

It is certainly best to try to reach out to people who might want to sell, but don't want to put the time, effort and money they think they need to in order to list it the traditional way.

Good luck with your campaign- I hope you get some great properties.
