Where to look for properties

[Quentin Jivery]

Hopefully this isn’t to vague but I would love to hear everyone’s opinion on the best strategies to find properties? Do you connect with agents in The area you are interested in? Do you use propstream or sites like that? Do you just look on the mls or Zillow and Redfin? Maybe it’s all of the above. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s opinion!

Hey Quentin, I would check out the book Finding & Funding Great Deals by Anson Young. He gives a great step by step process using listsource.com to identify areas where investors are potentially buying for a wholesaling strategy but it can be applied for flipping or buy and hold too. The answer to your question depends on what type of properties you are looking for, residential vs commercial. What you want your returns to be like, for example if you want properties with cap rates of 10%+ or a dollar figure of cash flow. If you feel comfortable investing long distance vs staying local. The list can go on but I suggest create a buy box with what you want your investment to do for you and then look for markets that align with the criteria in your buy box.

Wow that was incredibly helpful and I am always looking for new boom suggestions. As of right now my buy box would be a multi family four plex house hack. I’m looking to free up my capitol and start my journey. So that being said I need to find something in my backyard. I’m having trouble finding any properties that fit my criteria.
