Depending on the market it may be difficult to find a deal so getting a deal off market with no competition is a plus.

Lack of 1% yielding inventory in the MLS has most of us screaming across the country. 

I am looking to start BRRRing and honestly just lack the capital to purchase.

@Walker Diallo Most markets, especially competitive and growing ones, will be challenging to find good deals.

Note of caution; understand your foreclosure laws, depending on where this is in the process, attempting to pull investor ploys without having the ability to purchase yourself as implied under the contract can land you up against federal law, a lender can clean your clock for interference with an insured depository.In other words, investors who lack the ability and intent to buy themselves as stated in a contract with someone in foreclosure should stay clear of any attempt of trying to pull off anything except a true a cash sale.   

That would make offers very competitive!   

As a consequence, competition for affordable homes under 350k is fierce, much different to the market over 700k which is still only "warm".

Good services that are widely adopted help set industry standards and create competition for larger well-established PM.  

Being that this was a skill that others lacked, I was able to leverage this and sell my services.

If you prefer the formal process of going through a buyer's agent that early in the shopping process, let the agent know up front your timeline and your motivation or lack thereof for buying on that timeline.
