Here's how you can find good deals on properties that might need some work or are priced lower than usual:Connect with People - Make friends with real estate agents, lawyers, and others who know about properties that need to be sold quickly or aren't in great shape.Reach Out Directly - Send letters or use websites to contact property owners who might want to sell fast.Look Around - Drive or walk around neighborhoods to find houses that look like they need fixing up.

Make yourself familiar with different markets - I personally recommend taking a look at Midwest markets like Columbus OH because of great macroeconomics and cheaper price points.
