Finding Distressed Properties

[Joseph Lavoie]

I am a new investor looking to target distressed properties in the Boston and Worcester, MA markets. Does anyone have any tips they are willing to share with a new investor on the best ways to find and reach out to the owners of distressed properties?

Hey @Joseph Lavoie there are a ton of ways to do this.  It all depends if you want to spend money or not.  Newer investors that have time typically drive for dollars.  You can go find the home, true people search them and give a call all for free.  Another way is to purchase lists from propstream or somewhere else and mail, call, or text them.  There are many many lists out there and as far as I can tell no magic way.  They all take time and dedication.  You should try one for 6 months before deciding it does not work as this is the amount of time it usually takes for decent marketing to begin working.
