MLS, waste of time or poor execution?

[Matthew Rollo]

Over the past couple months I have been able to secure a handful of wholesale deals off the MLS here in Orlando, FL. While many people will swear it has dried up and there is nothing on there, I have been able to knock a few out.

I don't spend the majority of my time on the MLS anymore but the one upside is that there is ready and able sellers that have listed their property. THEY WANT TO SELL!

Sure, their expectations are unrealastic, listing a home in need of major repair at the same price point as a renovated home. 

For those of you still doing MLS deals, what is one of your strategies to lock down deals when a house is overpriced?
