Finding Deals in 2025?

[Zach A.]

So how is everyone finding distressed properties in 2025?

- Any luck finding deals on the MLS?

- Any luck with direct mail? 

A lot of the information I'm finding on here when searching is very outdated. I have a limited marketing budget of about $5k and need to make every dollar count. I work full time so I don't have a lot of time to cold call and door knock.

 $5k is a decent start for marketing and should provide you with at least a  60-day runway to generate a deal or 2 to get started. 

I would look into recruiting 1 solid VA as a full time caller. I would also look to make list of targeted sellers (10,000+) mix with high equity, and some distress indicators for them to reach out to.

If you go the mailing route you need about 60-90 days to start seeing results and will pretty much take up the amount you have to invest in that time frame.
