Using a Real Estate agent to locate deals.

For those of you who work 40+ hours a week, how do you go about locating those new deals as they come on the market? Are you constantly checking the MLS or is it better to have a real estate agent to call you about a certain property if they believe it is one that would interest you (assuming you explained to them what type of property you were looking for). I find myself wondering how to be the first to jump on a deal to better my chances.

Well when I worked 40 hr weeks I still put 20 or more in my business. If you can't your profits will be lower. Real estate MLS deals you better be ready to jump and get in contract . I personally hardly ever buy on MLS. Less deals since realtors already got their greedy hands in and their client thinks their property worth more than it is.

Most realtors dont have a clue if they did they wouldn't  be realtors.
