I was wondering if most wholesalers have stopped using direct mail and just moved to google/facebook to find deals?

The "best market" is less about the market per se and more about the deal you're able to find in my opinion.

Look to buy off market.

.: Quote from @Don Solt: Hi folks, As the topic states I'm looking to learn everything I can about the City of Philadelphia and its real-estate market.

I myself am in a similar position looking to acquire a secondary home in the Banner Elk and would plan on using as a STR and would love any input on your findings!!

The seller can supply everything they used to market, pictures, ad copy, etc., but they cannot sell their AirBnB account to another person.

Hi Anthony-You asked about the best ways to find off-market deals for your in-laws to buy and move into and you are focussed on the Santa Barbara, CA area which I have been to and it is gorgeous.It kind of reminds me of an Ann Arbor on the ocean. :)Anyway, I like your strategy of driving and looking for houses in need of repair and sending handwritten letters and contacting rentals for the reasons you gave.

I'm looking to pickup some multifamily real estate but the barrier to entry is crazy in my local market.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I would never let a client purchase in certain areas of my local market....
