MLS-listed deals are a bit harder to find, so investors here have had to get more creative in sourcing deals either through their own hustle (door-knocking, website, direct mail, driving for dollars) or finding good wholesalers to feed them deals. 

Yes, Evan Conner has been an excellent source for us in the Ozarks area of Missouri.

@Chantelle LewisRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I'm looking for a new source of investors who are in the business of funding these deals.  

It sounds intriguing and like it could be a another good source from homes since the MLS has been pretty dry lately/hard to make houses pencil out for flips.Is buying from auctions a good idea?

Unlike banks, which offer limited loan options, brokers have access to a wide network of lenders, including niche and non-traditional financing sources.Here’s what they do:Assess your financial situation to determine your borrowing power.Compare multiple loan products to find the most favorable terms.Negotiate rates and terms with lenders on your behalf.Guide you through the application process, ensuring you meet all requirements.Example: Suppose you have a lower credit score or unconventional income sources.

They are the source.

Right now, I’m in the process of sourcing land for our first project.Happy to connect and share insights.Wishing you a great holiday as well!

You can target lists through a multiple list source sites, skip trace those lists, then market to those buyers through cold calling, SMS campaigns, direct mailers, and/or door knocking; amongst other routes.

The process seems daunting and overwhelming, and I am not confident I will put the time in to talk to sources, analyze, and find properties for investing purposes.
