This approach works well for wholesalers who sell deals to flippers, and flippers or realtors can benefit even more by taking the extra step to generate their own off-market leads.No one said methods like cold calling, direct mail, or Facebook/Google ads won’t help a realtor find off-market opportunities.Just a friendly thought, especially given the high costs associated with Zillow leads.

Apparently he is only used to using facebook.

They sucker you in saying you don't pay till you get deal but it then turns into Facebook ads.

I have the rental posted on basically every platform including facebook groups. 

@Doronda PlacideJoin local real estate investor associations in your area and check Facebook for local meet-ups so you can network with investor-friendly agents or even wholesalers in your market that find deals

Are you referring to a community of LP investors on BP or somewhere else like Facebook groups ? 

On my triplex there when I first got it, one unit rented quickly, then the other two sat and then suddenly both rented within a week of each other.One of the tenants was found through Facebook Marketplace.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

@Brittany P.The reason people use them is because some Facebook guru told them too, just like if the guru told them to fake a verification of funds or a guru telling people they don’t need to send a borrower a 1098People tend to not do their own research or have an attorney review and just take some template from the guru

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?
