080: 3 Steps To Find Off Market Real Estate Deals
from The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast · host David Lecko
Have you been looking on Zillow for a good real estate deal? I used to look for properties for sale and look at the mortgage estimator to calculate my monthly payment. Then I would switch tabs over to rentometer.com and see if the rent was more than the mortgage payment. IT NEVER WAS! Now I would never buy a property that didn't cashflow at least $500 per month above the mortgage, taxes, and insurance. And in order to wholesale a deal and make a $22,000 finders fee by simply ""assigning"" a deal, it needs to be under contract at a big discount. The way I find them now is by looking for off-market deals. This episode gives you 3 steps to successfully find off market deals. Think of this episode as getting you in the right mindset to finally find great deals.
