The more information that you have out there the easier it is for people to find you, if you want them to find you.I almost everyday wear my "Rick Buys Houses" shirts with my phone number on it. 

Think Good Deals Are Hard to Find?

Tons of room to negotiate even on market deals.Very few wholesalers, although I made videos about how to do it.

I want to reach out and get feedback on where I would be able to find off market self storage facilities and how to approach the owner?

It would be a great opportunity to extend out to some real estate professionals.

If you're strictly seeking off-market deals, I recommend connecting with and working with a reliable/resourceful wholesaler instead of a real estate agent.

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

Hi Anthony-You asked about the best ways to find off-market deals for your in-laws to buy and move into and you are focussed on the Santa Barbara, CA area which I have been to and it is gorgeous.It kind of reminds me of an Ann Arbor on the ocean. :)Anyway, I like your strategy of driving and looking for houses in need of repair and sending handwritten letters and contacting rentals for the reasons you gave.

Here’s how I’m currently thinking about it:The interest rate on my existing property is 3.5%, so I’d like to maintain that rate rather than refinancing the entire loan.
