Jonah,

As was previously mentioned you can use a lot of benefits from the calculators available to you with the pro membership. Additionally, on the forum you can click on the link below and use the deal analysis portion of the forum.

What's up Jonah, if your a Pro member you can go to tools and use the fix and flip calculator. From there I believe you can share it to who ever you like.

For me... Too many deals right now... Not enough money. Forcing me to look for other means of capital than I have used before.

With that said, I would find the big players in your market, take em to lunch and ask em... "If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

Then... DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAY! (Most people skip this step)

Are you considering house hacking? What types of deals are you looking for? What are your goals? Why realestate?

I go to zillow, enter state, then maximum price (for example $1000 minimum $25,000 maximum in NY State), sort cheapest first, and get 100 deals with a +$125,000 ARV each. I haven't had to resort any further. No one seems to understand my method yet. They all say, how did you find this deal I can't find any. Shrugging shoulders.

@Jonah Lamour our most recent deal we purchased I got from making a facebook post. I basically said we are looking to buy homes in any condition and if they (any of my friends on facebook) provide a lead that results in us buying a property we will give them a $1000.00. I received 6 leads within 2 hours and ended up getting one of the properties under contract that week and closed shortly after. The lead provider got a $1000.00 and I saved hours upon hours of cold calling and or driving for $$. I also still get messages from friends sending me potential deals.

Genius! How much do I own you man? Haha. I will be giving this a try, thanks!

Partner with others. For example, I am looking for the opposite. I'm finding places in my neighbourhood that look like great potential flips, but I don't have the cash or experience to do it, so I would need to find someone looking to flip, and partner with them. If you can connect with people who live near where you're looking to buy, that can be on the lookout for you, that could work well, and help someone to get their start.
