387. The Real Reason the Best Deals Never Hit the Market
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of off-market deals in real estate investing and how to uncover them through broker relationships and direct outreach.
Key Takeaways The best deals aren't hidden. They're marketed privately before they ever hit Crexi or LoopNet. Brokers send their best opportunities to a small group of trusted buyers first. Most investors are competing for the same public listings, which drives up prices and lowers returns. The three best sources of off-market deals are broker relationships, tired sellers, and direct outreach. Specializing in one asset class makes it much easier to uncover opportunities. Many sellers value certainty and simplicity more than squeezing out every last dollar. Off-market deals often create the biggest value-add opportunities. Success comes from consistency, relationships, and being ready when the right deal appears.
