Quote from @Henrry Novas:
Hey Ricky, I mainly use Propstream for distressed properties. I also use Zillow and even Facebook marketplace. Propstream does cost $99/mo, but its well worth it.
I am currently working on a website so that the real motivated sellers contact me, so i dont have to spend as much time contacting property owners who aren't motivated at all.
Hey Henrry, I appreciate your response and I think setting up a website sounds like a great strategy that I never really thought about. I have heard of Propstream and I'm glad you think its well worth the monthly charge, this is something that I will consider moving forward.
As for Facebook, I have joined multiple groups and spend time searching marketplace but I have always wondered if I should be hesitant about reaching out to those people who are posting these homes. I am just curious if its worth messaging these people and if I do should be worried about potential scams?
As mentioned in the initial post, I am still new to all this so any insights help!
