Connecticut Flippers: How are you finding deals?

[Pat McCandless]

Hello fellow CT investors! 

After my first successful flip that I closed back on May 15th, I'm getting to the point where I feel like I'm never going to find another property where the numbers make sense. I've had tons of offers but all swings and misses. For those investors out there who are flipping SFR's, what is working for you to find your deals? Are you doing direct marketing? Do you have someone in the industry sending you constant money makers? Maybe I'm passing on deals because my margins are slimmer since I'm not a realtor saving on commission or using my own cash saving on financing costs. But I'm finding the MLS really hard to find deals here in CT, and I understand the MLS has a ton of competition but I also feel like the banks aren't settling low enough these days either. Are any other CT investors having success using the MLS & working with banks? Any pointers to start landing more deals?
