Hey guys,

I am a long time reader first time poster. I currently invest in the St. Louis, and Columbia MO area and

Im really looking to increase my footprint over the next 12-18 months. I'm sure this topic has probably been hammered to death, but how does one go about finding new deals, especially ones not on the MLS? I've heard about wholesalers and marketing with flyers, but have yet to run across a wholesaler in STL (very open to working with some if possible). Any and all advice welcome.

Thanks,

I'm curious, Orvil, how did you find your duplex in the midwest?

Honestly it was a mixture of luck, opportunity and a great real estate agent. I gave myself a deadline to find a place and we both went to work looking. Interesting thing is that it wasn't actually listed on mls. It was being sold by an investor looking to consolidate debt.

Hello BP community! I am a 25 year old hr professional starting my career in real-estate. I close on my first owner occupant duplex in two days. So im very excited.

My goals are currently a buy-and-hold strategy consisting of purchasing multi-family properties at a discount.

It think BP is a great resource and has been indispensable to me so far. I hope to contribute to the community going forward and provide updates on my way to freedom. I hope to gain knowledge, techniques, opportunities,friendships and connect with other RE maniacs!!!!
