They will have systems in place to find off-market deals so you can analyse where the numbers are more attractive for you.You can also try the wholesaler list method.

I know a lot of people who are in the wholesaling industry and what we are seeing is that texting won't be a viable marketing method for long at all.

And after several years you start doing cash out refinances.....If you can refinance one property every 1-2 years and withdraw $200k of equity....that's not taxable. 

I think $35 at the time of this writing and they can withdraw it and use it at other locations if they get denied.

What alternative method(s) would you recommend for beginners? 

Thank you to the Brrrr method and a great team, we've been able to grow quicklyUnfortunate though, we have had a less than pleasant experience with our current property management company. 

Any other pros or cons to this method of investing for at least getting started? 

its just another method of flipping a contract..   

I’m particularly interested in methods that have worked well for you in terms of finding deals that aren’t listed on the MLS.Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions!
