Would be nice if about us pages on these sites, were a little more detailed with photos of who is behind the company.

I am biased because I live here but Phoenix is a great market, it gets ranked #1 for investing all the time and it shows. 

Joseph, the best method for you would probably be the MLS or sites like realtor.com etc.

[And there is a hit you take to your ranking when you decline but it's worth it to me in the long run.]

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

I am aware of Crexi, Bizbuysell, and Loopnet and reach out when I see something for sale on those sites.

@Drew Sygit Yeah I think what I'm going to do at first is what @Michael Paling recommends and try to manage myself in a multifam that I house hack so at least I'll be on site.

Any other major syndication site has restricted sold data so it will be incomplete.

Just trying to learn more about the process when its purchase only as I've seen that option on some lender sites. 

The site is no longer online.
