I am a new bird dog. I want to get the best leads for investors. What are some creative ways to find out about the good deals. I have heard word of mouth but I need just a little bit more. Do I need to browse obituaries? I’m starting to feel like a detective. Maybe that’s how you get the good stuff.
The best way to find the good deals is to know a lot of people and let them know that you’re a serious investor. Join your local REIA; meet a lot of realtors; put a small ad in the classified ads; meet some lawyers, title agents, etc. The vast majority of my deals come through personal contacts.
Good Luck,
Mike
Ok that sounds like a good plan. I’ve heard that. I guess I will have to get out of my shell. I’m usually a social butterfly but when it comes to biz, I am secretive. Gotta get over that. Great point. Title agents,eh?
Artygal,
Don’t forget to market…market…and then…market some more. I’ll wager my dog that you’ll find great deals once you start marketing effectively (and I love my dog…well, most of the time anyways).
