3 ways to find deep-discount properties in your backyard!

3 ways to find deep-discount properties in your backyard!

1. Pick an area that you know is a good rental area. If you're not sure, ask a Realtor to pull up an area that has a good mix of properties for sale and properties for rent.

2. Ask that Realtor to give you what the DOM (average days on market) is and what's the average $/sf sold in that area.

• Let's say if that area normally sells for $225/sf in today's market. Then watch for new REO listings that are listed at around $144/sf and send them an offer. This is what savvy real estate investors refer to as "low hanging fruit".

3. Have a Realtor give you all the REOs that the status recently changed from Pending Sale to Available (that means the deal fell through).

If you live in the Queens, Brooklyn, or Long Island areas send me an email with your specific request (for one or all of the items outlined in this post) and I could email you the local stats.
