struggling getting started

[Joe Prenger]

I'm new to the Kansas City, Missouri real estate investment business and am looking for my first deal. I'm open to flip and or rent but am struggling getting my first property. We go to view the home, do the analysis and by the time we want to make an offer it's too late. What other ways would one go about to come across a property for the first time investor? I would be open to wholesalers, direct mailers and driving for dollars. Any one have any other ideas.
