Let people know what you are doing
I have had to reprogram my way of thinking. Before, I didn't really talk to people, just did my job and that was it. I have a long ways to go but my goal is to talk to at least one new person a day and let them know what I am doing.
"Hi, my name is Jarod. ...convo convo convo... "I invest in properties and working my way to financial freedom"
Not everyone I've talked to is interested but the ones who are end of giving me tips or say they will let me know when something comes their way.
Just today I told someone at work what I was doing. She said, "Oooohhhh, I am a Zillow junkie!! What exactly are you looking for cause I spend at least 1-2 hours a day looking at properties." I gave her my list and even told her if I close on a lead she provided I'll throw her $100. She is on it!
It is amazing what happens when you share your passion!

@Dillon Y. Yep, you got me: I am an introvert. I was in the military and was really open with my Airmen. But when I got outside of work I would turn into a turtle (as my wife would say). Just go into my shell. I find activities to do that are lone activities. Triathlons are at the top of the list!
I just moved to Ohio from NV at the beginning of Feb. I am currently by myself while my family is still in Reno finishing school, posturing our son for college at UNR and selling the house. I am currently living in an extended stay but I was determined to change something about me. So I found a MeetUp Real Estate meeting my first week in town. I met an agent who invests in properties on Craigslist. Schedule a time to meet up at a local Panera Bread. We kicked it off and then actually went looking at properties. I actually found a gem and in contract right now! I was able to get the seller to provide $ to do some repairs and it is really a turnkey property. Using the Bigger Pockets calculator it shows $300 cash flow and a 22% CoCROI! Pretty stoked...I can't wait until I close so I can start working on my next deal!!!
