Hey everyone,I’ve been working in real estate for a little bit now, and like many of you, I’ve found that two big challenges keep coming up:Finding distressed or off-market properties before they get picked up by others.The time-consuming process of property analysis—especially when trying to figure out ROI, ARV, or repair costs quickly.I’m curious how you all are dealing with these issues.

While that might seem reassuring, it’s still worth conducting a thorough background check to look for any other signs of financial distress or legal issues.

I'm currently looking for distress properties to skip trace the owners with hope of getting my first wholesale deal. 

The 70% rule is a formula commonly used by real estate investors as a barometer when purchasing distressed properties for a profit.

I am an Asset Manager with a portfolio of 11 distressed Multifamily assets in Houston.

The average BPer needs to do the following1)Buy 1 property in a growing/path of progress area that is distressed and fix up every 18-30 months.

I’m referring to deals that you were going to either fix and flip or fix and hold, are you referring to for sale by owner properties or are you using redfin and Zillow to buy on market properties that are distressed listed by agents?

However, this must be paired with a dedicated and robust negative keyword strategy to prevent your ads from appearing for keywords that ARE NOT RELEVANT to your investing business.For the sake of this example have a look at this attached picture below:In this picture you can see that this ad shows up on the keyword “House for sale near me…” which is not something a seller would search for (not to mention a distressed seller).

I get much more cashflow from distressed properties that I pay cash for and fix up to be LTR'S. 

Cash offer on distressed home in the Winter, rehab finished by April, live there for the summer with no mortgage (maybe paint the place), search for/place tenant around the time I leave, cash out Refi when tenant is placed.
