These all came from scouring listings (i.e. finding mis-marketed deals), relationships, and off-market direct mail.2.

It basically just scours the web for similar content and then combines them into cohesive sentences with natural language processing.It's not actually generating any 'new' advice, it's just synthesizing the content that's been viewed and re-viewed on the web. i.e chatGPT has never actually built a $100m business, and its production database  (information leading up to EOY 2021 that is labeled "success, 100m, real estate investing, business") may not be the best guide for success in 2023 and beyond.Also the prime problem with non-technical 'influencers' like alex hormozi reviewing chatGPT is that he actually has no clue how the algorithm was built, how the models were trained, how applicable its results are over time, and what the model's limitations are.

My first two purchases were not home runs, but solid doubles and that was what I needed to build momentum and scour for better deals and build a better network. 

You can just start out by scouring craigslist and other forums, find deals, other wholesalers are selling.  

My wife and I are VERY new at this but we've been scouring bigger pockets the past couple months and consuming knowledge through a firehose.

I have been scouring the website for information and have loved what I have seen and read so far.

There may be 2 houses between the 2700 and the 2800 block and only 2 lots, so it is not as easy as just counting the houses 2X2.So I am resourceful, I hit the CAD, foreclosure sites, even Zillow and Realtor to scour for owners of the house.

So I would guess that a lot of land lords like me scour craigslist trying to get things 50% of new / retail.But Craigslist can be a bit dodgy.Just the other day when i was trying to source just the right sized fridge, I found an older lady on Craigslist who had such a fridge that she was unloading from an estate from her recently deceased mother.

But it turned out he didn't know what he was talking about so now we have to adjust our offer.So I am sitting here with so many projects on pending because of offers and negotiations and I was doing my daily 3 hour MLS scour.

I've been scouring the forums and have found a lot of great advice.
