How to find deals/wholesaling for own buy and hold portfolio

[Ally Kumar]

I have been looking at MLS and finding it very hard to find multifamily deals. I hear people in podcasts and on BP getting properties at 70% value which I am not able to find through my small REIA networks and on MLS. Few I bought on MLS were fair price (definitely not at 70% value) and cash flowing. I am considering marketing/wholesaling to find properties for my buy and hold portfolio (as opposed to wholesaling business model). Would like to hear from experienced landlords regarding how to go about doing it? Hire someone part time for marketing/lead generation as I don't have that much time. Any other avenues/suggestions for newbie?
