I'm aware of a couple off-market deals that I've dug up for other investors, and I know a local investor that owns over a hundred of units that he'd consider selling, all the way from bare land, to single families, to multi-units including several apartment buildings.

From what Ii understand brokers pass deals along to past client they know can close a deal and when it hits the market its almost like a graveyard...I think for myself I'd be better off closing a deal with a mom-n-pop type owner and hopefully seller-finance an older property with some value-add to force appreciation.I appreciate your response, do you have any feedback on this?
