In order to get off market properties, you need to get a solid website, work on SEO and credibility and nurture it to the top ranking on google.Once you do that everything will automatically fall in place.I skipped a few details here and there but you catch the drift.

You have to create your own leads, nurture them and then service them. 

Many of the best deals never get publicly listed, and brokers' best clients who have a track record of closing get first dibs.Build and nurture relationships w/ commercial brokers.  

It depends on whether you like flattering people's egos in order to make money.If you have a nurturing personality, that might work for you.Personally, I know I'm impatient and seek people with big problems that they either cannot solves themselves or are not willing to do so using their own resources."

Anyway, private lenders being the best route still though relationship dev & nurturing is paramount and timely where time is not our favor, portfolio lenders such as Colony (interviewed w/them) and alike being 2nd choice and, local banks with a set up channel or that are interested in servicing these type of transactions could do good for all.  

I'm working with two as we speak but it has taken me months to nurture that relationship.

I've been working probates for a long time and what you need to understand is the basics of the process and the ability to connect with family members and nurture them until they are ready to sell.Since a deceased person cannot transfer title to you now (absent an estate with a properly executed trust in place) the property will need to go through some form of probate.
