Here are 4 amazingly simple ways to get others to find great real estate deals for you.

First, and this is an obvious one, hire a real estate agent or broker to scour their multiple listing service (MLS) and only bring you the deals that meet your very specific criteria. The overwhelming majority of real estate agents and brokers are paid only when you buy or sell a property using their service. They can look through the inventory they have access to and share with you the ones that meet you very specific needs. Then, when you find one that works for you, you buy it with that real estate agent or broker. You get a great deal and they earn a commission.

Second, find

I want to share with you some information about a property in Lafayette located at 708 Arrow Ct. This particular property is for sale and was submitted by one of our researchers, but I'll be using it as an example. If you want to run your own full investor analysis on this property, you can do that using our Offer Generator.

In the table below I show what happens to the value with a modest appreciation rate. Can you have years where this (or any other property for that matter) go down in value? Yes. Might it not go up by as much as we are estimating? Yes. Can it go up by more? Yes. Only time will tell what will happen.

As you can see from the table above, if we assume an appreciation rate of 3.6% per year, then the property value eventually reaches $124,625 after 10 years.

By the way, are you actively looking for deals in Boulder? Don't forget that local real estate agents can be good sources for investor deals, but you have to make sure that they understand your needs as an investor. An investor friendly real estate agent can be a big boon for your deal finding!

If you are using a blank sheet of paper or, even worse, scraps of paper to jot down information about potential properties when you are talking to potential motivated sellers on the phone for your initial call, shame on you!

You should be taking down all the information about the property and sellers in an organized fashion. If you do not have a Property Information Sheet to use to gather this information for your own real estate investing business, then get one or, as a last resort, make your own and use it for every call.

Most of the information you'll gather is
