Quick takeaways

Using social media is an effective tool for attracting sellers and finding subject-to opportunities.

Focus on the potential cash flow of the property rather than equity when considering subject-to deals.

Direct bookings provide more control over the booking process and eliminate the reliance on Airbnb.

Finding Subject-to Opportunities

To find subject-to opportunities, Adam initially used bandit signs and posted on Facebook groups. Over time, people started calling him directly, either from his Facebook posts or through referrals. He mentioned that social media, despite being slightly cheesy, is an effective tool for attracting sellers. He also mentioned that realtors and other investors would sometimes reach out to him, knowing that he specializes in subject-to deals.
