The Hidden Housing Market: How to Find More of the Right Deals, More Often

Everyone says “there are no deals” right now.
But the problem usually isn’t the deals… it’s where you’re looking.
At our January 2026 Main Monthly Meeting, we’re pulling back the curtain on what we’re calling the Hidden Housing Market—the world of properties that never hit the MLS, never show up on Zillow, and never get blasted to every investor in town.
Instead of one “guru,” you’ll hear from a panel of active investors who are finding and closing these deals in today’s market:
* Jeff Rickerman
* Gladimir Lobo
* Candy Parr
* Josh Parr
They’ll share exactly how they’re uncovering opportunities most investors never even see—and how you can start doing the same.
You’ll learn:
- Where “hidden” deals actually come from
- The real-world methods they use to get sellers talking
- How to build a simple, repeatable system so leads come in every month
- How to avoid wasting time on junk leads and focus on deals that actually close
- Real examples of recent hidden-market deals: how they found them, structured them, and what the numbers looked like
You’ll walk away with:
- A clearer idea of which lead sources fit your time, budget, and personality
- Practical steps you can take in the next 30 days to uncover more (and better) opportunities
- A roadmap for building a steady, reliable pipeline of good deals—without chasing bidding wars on the same five properties everyone’s fighting over
Bring your questions, your notebook, and a list of the types of deals you wish you could find—then let this panel show you where they’re hiding.
