You don’t need to be a full-time real estate professional to find great deals, just be sure to <strong>follow Anson’s advice</strong>.</p><p>If you haven’t heard Anson’s prior episodes, here’s a recap. Anson has touched on almost every aspect of <strong>real estate investing.</strong> <strong>He flips, he wholesales, and he sells houses as an agent</strong>, meaning he has a huge amount of knowledge to share to BiggerPockets listeners. On average, Anson is doing 12-15 flips a year, 10 wholesale deals a year, and a dozen or so sales a year as an agent.</p><p>Anson has some <strong>great advice on finding off-market (and on-market) deals </strong>that include <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/driving-for-dollars"><strong>driving for dollars</strong></a><strong>, door knocking, and list building</strong>.
