How do investors find discounted real estate deals in Ontario? ( self )

submitted by jmel33 Warning: 0%

I’ve been searching for discounted real estate deals in Ontario, but everything on MLS is overpriced or gets scooped up instantly. I know there are off-market properties selling below market value, but I have no clue how to find them. I keep hearing about wholesalers, but I don’t understand how they get these deals. Do they just know the right people, or is there a way for smaller investors like me to tap into these opportunities?

Yeah, MLS isn’t where you’ll find real deals. Wholesalers source properties from distressed sellers—people facing foreclosure, landlords who want out, or homes that need serious repairs. They negotiate directly and get properties under contract before the public even hears about them. If you want access to these types of deals, you need to get on a wholesaler’s VIP buyers list. Check out wholesale real estate—they specialize in off-market properties and notify investors as soon as deals come up.

Off-market deals are the real game-changer in Ontario real estate. MLS is fine for regular homebuyers, but investors who want high returns go off-market. The key is speed—wholesale properties don’t sit around waiting. You have to know what you want, have financing ready, and be prepared to pull the trigger fast. I’ve bought wholesale deals that never hit public listings, and that’s where the real profits come from. If you’re serious about investing, skip the MLS and start looking at direct-to-seller opportunities.
