For example, call FSBOs, expired listings, geo leads, and/or distressed seller leads (pre-foreclosure, probate, etc.)3.

Since I am not buying a distressed house, I couldn't pull my equity out by refinancing.

Lastly, for anyone using a CRM, are you able to keep your property data up to date automatically when the home’s status changes (like if it sells or is no longer distressed)?

I'm currently looking for distress properties to skip trace the owners with hope of getting my first wholesale deal. 

Hey everyone,I’ve been working in real estate for a little bit now, and like many of you, I’ve found that two big challenges keep coming up:Finding distressed or off-market properties before they get picked up by others.The time-consuming process of property analysis—especially when trying to figure out ROI, ARV, or repair costs quickly.I’m curious how you all are dealing with these issues.

With todays higher interest rates and competition from other investors that drive up distressed housing prices we've hadn't had any luck getting new deals to pencil out.

I am an Asset Manager with a portfolio of 11 distressed Multifamily assets in Houston.

Distressed homes are hard to find, and I am learning that I don't have the fortitude to withstand the rehab process.My goal continues to be finding residential and commercial (office/conference space) property for rental purposes over a one- to five-year period.

I’m a real estate investor and they have allowed me  the ability to focus on doing what I’m best at closing deals, helping distressed sellers and bringing value to the communities around me.But like it’s been said in other post, it takes some time to really gain momentum with this type of marketing.

The more investors you have in your pipeline, the easier it will be to close deals fast.For finding properties, you have a few options: driving for dollars (looking for distressed properties in person), sending direct mail campaigns to property owners, or joining an experienced wholesaler to learn the ropes before going out on your own.
