Houston Field Inspector looking to bird dog/wholesale

Hello I have been contemplating the real estate business for much longer than I would like to admit (all you have to do is look at my profile to see what I mean)

Well I just got this job as a field inspector in Houston. Basically I drive around and take pics of properties on behalf of mortgage companies for a living. Some of these properties I actually have access to lock boxes and have to go inside to get pictures. usually these are the old foreclosures that are just sitting there. 

While I drive around I see many distressed/abandoned properties and make notes of them. Also several of the properties that I have access to are in pretty good shape. Most of them are bank owned but not up for auction or on the market or anything. 

I guess what I'm saying is I have sort of become what I think is a bird dog due to my job. The thing is I don't know any real estate investors in the area I could show the properties I have to. 

I would appreciate the opportunity to work with some buyers in Houston who are familiar with these type of bank owned properties and other absentee owned and abandoned properties. Maybe we can develop a strategy for our success as a team. I get these properties on a regular basis and just want to make something happen. With a good coach I know I can be an asset on someone's team. 

Hopefully I am not breaking any forum rules or anything by posting this here. If I am I will move the discussion to wherever it should go.

Thanks in advance!
