Tired of fighting over scraps on the MLS? In this throwback episode, Chris Craddock breaks down the step-by-step strategies for finding off-market properties—even if you're starting with zero cash.

From tired landlords to dilapidated properties, Chris shares exactly how to identify motivated sellers, how to talk to them, and what to do once you have a potential deal in your hands. 

The MLS might be dry, but the real deals are out there if you know where to look.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why the best deals never hit the MLS—and how to get to them first
  • How to spot "money-making" properties on your daily drive
  • The exact script to use with tired landlords and distressed sellers
  • Creative ways to fund deals without using your own money
  • How to turn every off-market opportunity into either a cash deal or a long-term asset
  • The secret tax hack every real estate agent needs to know (hint: cost segregation!)
  • Why being resourceful is more powerful than having resources
