Off-Market Deal Finder: How to Find Hidden Real Estate Deals for Bigger Profits
Let’s face it—the best real estate deals don’t hit the MLS. By the time they do, everyone sees them, competition is fierce, and profits are slim.
If you want better deals, you need to go off-market—where the real profit potential lives.
That’s where the Off-Market Deal Finder course by Coach Carson comes in.
🧠 This live, hands-on mini-course is your blueprint to consistently finding motivated sellers before anyone else even knows the deal exists.
Whether you’re a first-time investor or you’ve closed a few deals and want more consistency, this course gives you the tools and tactics to generate leads, build trust, and close profitable off-market deals.
Let’s explore why off-market deals matter—and how you can start finding them today.
Why Off-Market Deals Are a Game Changer
On-market properties (MLS listings) are easy to find, but hard to profit from. Off-market deals, on the other hand, are:
- 🧾 Less competitive
- 💬 Open to creative financing
- 💰 Often discounted
- 🤝 Negotiated directly with the seller
But here’s the catch: you can’t rely on agents or listings. You have to go find the seller yourself.
That’s exactly what the Off-Market Deal Finder course teaches—step-by-step.
7 Proven Tips to Find Off-Market Real Estate Deals
These tips are inspired by Coach Carson’s course and real-world investing experience. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your system, use this as your roadmap to find hidden deals others miss.
1. Know Your Ideal Seller Profile 🔍
Off-market success starts with targeting the right people—not just any homeowner.
Look for motivated sellers, such as:
- Out-of-state landlords
- Inherited properties (probate)
- Distressed owners (behind on taxes or repairs)
- Vacant homes
✅ Action Step: Create a simple “Seller Avatar” sheet. List the seller types most likely to want a fast, hassle-free sale.
Takeaway: Don’t market to everyone—market to the right ones.

2. Use Driving for Dollars 🚗💡
Driving through neighborhoods (aka “Driving for Dollars”) is one of the most powerful and underrated ways to spot off-market deals.
Look for:
- Overgrown yards
- Boarded-up windows
- Notices on the door
- Deteriorating roofs or siding
✅ Action Step: Spend 1–2 hours a week driving target neighborhoods. Log properties using an app like DealMachine or just a spreadsheet.
Pro Tip: The Off-Market Deal Finder course walks you through the exact scripts and follow-ups to turn these addresses into deals.
3. Master Direct Mail 📬
Yes, direct mail still works—when done correctly.
Send postcards or letters to your seller list. Use friendly, non-pushy messaging like:
“Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I’m looking to buy a house in your neighborhood. If you’re ever thinking about selling, I’d love to talk!”
✅ Action Step: Start with 100–250 pieces to a high-quality, hand-picked list. Track responses and follow up.
Takeaway: Consistency matters more than perfection. Don’t send one letter and expect instant results.
4. Follow Up, Follow Up, Follow Up 🔁
The fortune is in the follow-up. Many sellers say “no” at first because they’re not ready—yet. But when they are, they’ll remember the investor who stayed in touch.
✅ Action Step: Set up a simple CRM or spreadsheet with:
- Last contact date
- Next follow-up
- Notes from the conversation
Schedule follow-ups every 30–60 days.
Coach Tip: In the course, you’ll get sample follow-up templates, call scripts, and response tracking tools.
5. Build Local Relationships 🤝
Sometimes the best leads come from people—not postcards.
Connect with:
- Code enforcement officers
- Landscapers and contractors
- Probate attorneys
- Mail carriers
- Other investors
✅ Action Step: Reach out to one new contact a week. Ask:
“Do you know anyone looking to sell a property that needs some work?”
Takeaway: A simple conversation can lead to a goldmine.
6. Create a Seller-Friendly Website or Landing Page 🌐
When someone sees your postcard or hears about you, they’ll probably Google you. Having a simple, trust-building website increases credibility.
Include:
- Your name and photo
- A friendly message: “We buy homes in [your city]”
- A short contact form
- Testimonials or proof of past deals (if you have them)
✅ Action Step: Use a landing page builder like LeadPages, Carrot, or a basic WordPress setup with a call-to-action.
Pro Tip: If you’re just starting, a simple landing page is better than nothing—and the course gives examples.
7. Track Your Metrics Like a Pro 📊
Don’t guess what’s working—measure it.
Track:
- of leads mailed
- Response rate
- Appointments set
- Offers made
- Deals closed
✅ Action Step: Set up a simple tracking sheet or dashboard. Update it weekly. Review monthly to improve your targeting and messaging.
Takeaway: Treat this like a business. Because it is.
What to Avoid: 3 Common Mistakes When Finding Off-Market Deals 🚫
1. Giving Up Too Soon
Many beginners send one letter or make two calls and quit. Real success comes from consistent effort—especially follow-up.
2. Targeting the Wrong Sellers
Not every homeowner wants or needs to sell. Focus on people with a reason to sell below market value.
3. Overcomplicating the Process
You don’t need fancy systems to start. A phone, spreadsheet, and some elbow grease go a long way.
