How do you find off market deals

[Jack Hamm]

Good Morning BP,

I am starting my investing journey I have partnered with someone for mentorship and he is also my lender so I am a Cash Buyer. I am in a really good spot right now, but would love to know how others have found properties for low enough prices. I put a post on the Classifieds looking for wholesalers in my area as 99.9% of properties on the MLS are priced to high and the ones that are affordable have intense competition. How would you recommend I connect with wholesalers in my area to find off market properties? Thank you.
