What else should I be doing?

So I've put my business together and began the ball rolling towards my first buy, fix and flip purchase. I feel like things are moving a little slower and am wondering if there is anything else that I can/ should be doing. The action I have taken is listed below:

Direct mail - our second monthly direct mail letters will go out this week. They are being sent soley to high equity owners in our farm area, which consists of about 350 homes. *Should I expand this area or possibly send to a second list elsewhere?

Driving for dollars - I drive my farm area for dollars thoroughly 1x a week

REI club - I will be attending my first meet up this coming Thursday. I pushed that off because I was a bit shy about it, however am feeling confident about it at this point.

RE Agent - Up until Friday had a daily MLS search run by an REI friendly agent. She is switching offices, so I'm deciding if I want to go with her, or stay with the current brokerage and move to another agent. This will be decided by tomorrow and searches will pick back up by Tuesday.

Talking up my business - basically talking to everyone and anyone about this and spreading the word.

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm very motivated (however taking careful precautions) and really want to have something in hand by the end of July!

Thanks!

Danielle
