Be careful.
I keep seeing this over and over with investors.
Of market deals are great, but it is just a subset of what you are TRULY after. It is MOTIVATED sellers/deals you need to target and focus on. Once that criteria is met only THEN "off market comes into play.
A FSBO is off market. But I am willing to bet more than 70% FSBO are NOT motivated. (The whole point of a FSBO is to sell it yourself so you don't have to pay commissions, so they want more money, that is the opposite of a motivated seller.)
You need to understand the mindset of a motivated seller and then position yourself as the bridge between their current situation and their desired situation.
Many many many here know me as the master of lead generation... BUT even those that acknowledge this, don't understand why I am so good at it. Most think it is about "SEO" and ranking your website #1. That is not it.. AT ALL. Ranking #1 is childsplay. I can do that with my eyes closed. It is getting your forms filled is the chapllenge.
And in order to do this you need to dive deep into the phsycology of things.
Yes talk is cheap, so let me show you.
















All these leads, are free, completely motivated, that want to sell to not just anyone, no, they SPECIFICALLY want to sell to ME, I don;t lift a finger, don't pay a cent, all on autopilot reliable.
Do you really think you will get this "just" by ranking #1? Absolutely not. My website is the #1 copied website nationwide, yet people have no idea how it works and they probably won't get these results. It is the "behind the scenes" phycology behind the text, pictures, layout intention what makes this successful, NOT ranking #1.
So now, to answer your question now that you have the right knowledge, you asked the REIGHT Question.
Correct... it is not "HOW" are you getting deals, it is indeed "WHERE".
It is not foreclosures, it is not job losses, nor relocations, nor divorces nor tax liens, nor absentee owners or any of the common BS everyone regurgitates. Instead use your OWN logic and data and you will soon see I am actually right (if my numbers and reliable predictable repeatable results didn't already make this obvious.
Motivated sellers don't exhibit those situations, as 90+% of my organic (meaning REAL, actually wanting to sell) leads do not come from those categories. My organic leads simply come from people that don't want to list and are willing to accept a below market offer for that hassle free convenience!
There are deals everywhere. EVERYWHERE. No it is not dried up where you are.
The reason why you feel there i nothing there is because the way you are trying to find those deals is simply wrong (se emy rant above). The ONLY .. yes I said ONLY way to find motivated seller off-market deals is by having a $1 ranking website that is credible.
Here is logical proof that deals are everywhere and anywhere. If you have people in your area that own a house, and they are not financially stable, and/or are houses on the MLS in your area, or wanting to buy a new house, are upsizing, downsizing, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOTIVATED TO SELL. Period.
You need to create a credible website, ranking #1, and magic happens!
Do realize that this time of year the leads DO slow down a bit. That is normal!
