If it is legally allowed in your state, consider getting a dual agent.

Look for listings with outdated or poor quality photos.

Go after listings that are at least 3 months old

There aren’t that many other tips I can give in this space

Off Market

Get a letter of intent (LOI) with conditions, then purchase and sale agreement (PSA). Always get an attorney to look it over; don't get one from the seller.

For Sale By Owner

Fsbo.com or an FSBO sign that indicates a property is being sold by its owner, without the assistance of a real estate agent.

On average, sellers who don't use agents lose 13% of their potential sale price.

REO/Foreclosure/Short sale

REO (Real Estate Owned) properties from banks often have fewer buyer protections than other properties.

Short sales can be especially difficult, as they can take a long time to complete and can be hard to negotiate due to the importance of the sale price to both the seller and the bank.

Distressed sellers

Track Down Owners

  1. Look into public property records. Google “your county” + “deed records”
