Dealing with being out-bid

[Peter Lambert]

Hey Everyone,

I have been in the search for a 2 or 3 unit multi family in Manchester area for about a year now. I have found numerous properties worth putting offers in, but have been continuously out-bid. Does anyone have any strategies worth making that helped them get their first deal? I get that patience is important, but I am getting frustrated with the process and it feels like I am never going to get my first deal. 

Thank you,

Pete
