How do real estate flippers find their deals?
I’m curious as to how most fix and flippers find their deals. I know that some flippers have wholesalers they network with or can even drive for dollars in a specific market they want to invest in. Are their any other ways of finding these type of properties? Is contacting a realtor to send you properties a reliable source? They would profit off of the sale when bought from the investor and possibly when they sell when rehabbed.
