Finding off market real estate deals near you
Off market real estate deals come from owners who sell before listing. For example, heirs, tired landlords and owners in pre-foreclosure often prefer a private sale.
First, pick the neighborhoods you know best. Then review fresh probate and pre-foreclosure leads in those areas every week. Also, drive the area to check condition and nearby sales. In addition, keep a simple follow-up plan, because many owners reply only after a few contacts. As a result, you find local bargains before other buyers do.
