@Daniel Pitta there is no magic answer here or secret formula. This is years of networking, flipping, lending, wholesaling and building relationships in DC, MD and VA. The longer you stick around the more opportunities you will be presented with. Most of my deals at this point are products of people who do not have systems or processes in place and need help with negotiations, contracts, finding buyers, title companies attorneys, etc. I will either JV with them or pay them the fee they are looking for and take over the deal from there.
My organic deals are much the same. At this point all of my friends and family know exactly what it is I do. Be sure to brand yourself this way, referrals should be a big part of your business. In addition I also do mailers, have a really good follow up system with past clients, cold call, build my own lists, etc.
If your looking for specific criteria to target there are tons. Divorce, probate, absentee owners, tax delinquent, equity position, age.....
Platforms I Utilize:
Marketing/Prospecting - MLS, Craigslist, FB, Zillow, BP (I have easily done 20+ deals due to BP), Jerry Pucket Mailers, Open Letter, Remine,
CRM - Hubspot, Microsoft Dynamics, Excel
