How do I find Cash Buyers in Rural NE Ohio?

[Beth Anderson]

We are just starting our real estate journey. We live in rural NE Ohio. I'm talking Amish farm country. I have been driving for dollars and mining the county auditor's site for homeowners who are delinquent on their taxes. I have a list of over 100 distressed properties now, but I don't want to start contacting homeowners until I have some cash buyers in the wings. We are hoping to find a great house hack for ourselves in the process, but for anything that I cannot handle myself, I want to wholesale to someone else. I can't seem to find anyone locally who will answer Facebook messages or phone calls. I have scanned through about 1/4 of the sales in our county for the last 3 years, arranged by seller name, looking for a person or company who has made multiple sales, but so far, the couple flippers I have found doing that haven't responded to me. The nearest RIEA is over an hour away with only 3 members who live in our county. Can anyone give me some ideas on how to find cash buyers in my market?  Thank you!
