Today, we’re talking about the easiest way to find profitable rental properties in 2024 (and 2025!). It’s not through cold calling homeowners, sending mailers, networking with wholesalers, or doing any other “off-market” strategy. It’s so easy that even real estate investing beginners will have no trouble finding deals. What are we talking about? On-market, MLS (multiple listing service) properties for sale.
You might think, “But everything on the market is overpriced; there are NO good deals left!” That’s where you’re wrong, and today’s guest proves it. Dan Nelson has been buying on-market investment properties for two decades now, and he’s built an entire portfolio doing so (even in recent years). Dan knows there’s a time and place for off-market deals, but he has found so many hidden opportunities on the market that he keeps returning to buy.
During this episode, Dan shows YOU precisely what to look for when browsing listing websites for rental properties or potential house flips. He shares the hidden opportunities most investors miss and why you should NOT be focused on properties that make money from day one. Instead, he walks through his simple strategy to create serious cash flow only a couple of years after purchasing properties most investors overlook.

You don’t need to send mail, you don’t need to knock on doors. You don’t even need to work with wholesalers. There are great deals sitting on the MLS right now, just waiting for you to come by ’em. Hey everyone, it’s Dave. And recently I realized that we talk a lot about off-market deals on this show, but personally, I actually rarely buy off-market deals, and unless you’re a full-time professional investor, you probably don’t either. So today we’re talking about how the MLS has actually become a sort of underrated tool for real estate investors and we’ll also talk about some of the trade-offs with off-market deals and some potential dangers that you should think…
