What is a Bargain Property?
A bargain property is a piece of real estate that is purchased for less than market value. This enables you to make a short-term profit, such as with wholesaling or fix and flips, or a long-term profit, such as with a buy and hold.
7 Keys to Finding Real Estate Deals
1. Talk to People
Your greatest resource may be closer than you think.
2. Leverage Internet Research
Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Craigslist.org are all valuable resources.
3. Drive for Dollars
Visit neighborhoods to determine rentability.
4. Look for Abandoned Properties
Homes in disrepair often indicate a motivated seller.
5. Talk to Local Banks
They can offer rates that the big banks can’t.
6. Look for ‘For Rent’ signs and FSBOs
If a homeowner is willing to rent or sell a property, it often means they are a motivated seller.

You can pay less for a property if you’re able to meet other needs.
