My name is Lee Israelsen. I currently work at a pest control company.  I have met with some RE agents, looked at some multifamily properties and analyzed them.  Mostly I have been learning about real estate investing from listening to BP podcasts and also reading the forms. I listened to a years worth of podcasts last month.  After listening to so many different podcasts I realized there are endless ways to do RE investing and I just need to pick one and get started.  My first goal is to find a multifamily property in my area live in one of the units and get some practice land-lording.  My biggest hurdle right now is finding good deals.  From what I have seen the MLS is not working.  I have asked the county and city if they have lists of current evictions they didn't...I also got a list of properties from the county that have been sent a notice of default. But I think what I really need is a list of landlords and to figure out the best way to approach them about buying properties off the market. I asked a title company if they had access to any such list, currently waiting to hear back from them. If anyone has recommendations on where to get lists of landlords and how to market to them please let me know.  

Thanks for your time and help!
