Where to find deals in Los Angeles to flip?

All the zillow/redfin etc feel like left overs that nobody wanted. So where else can I find the good deals?

HI Annett,

One way that me and my husband found a TON of off market deals was by driving for dollars. We would spend nights and weekends driving around Boise writing down or pinning addresses that were distressed. For example, look for homes that have tarps on the roof, bad paint, lawns that haven't been mowed, trash in the yard etc. From there we would cold call these people and ask them if they are looking to sell. It's a lot of work and sacrificing time but it has given us so many opportunities! 

I hope this helps!
