Hey Mark, I'd be happy to take a look at any properties you come across, especially if they're in Richmond, VA or surrounding areas. Let me know if there's anything you need in the meantime. Good luck!

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had much success with direct mail marketing companies like Yellow Letter HQ, propstream, etc.. to source off market properties and if so what criteria are you inputing (absentee owners, vacants, tax delinquent)? I've used Propstream in the past but have had no luck and it seemed like a lot of their data was outdated. I used to source all my own leads and send personalized letters which brought some success but is just too time-consuming now. I don't have a problem with spending 2-3k on a good marketing campaign but would like to see what has worked for others. Is there a company or criteria that you swear by? Any and all input is appreciated, thank you!

Welcome Joseph and Thank you for your service.
Were you at the Hanover area meetup in Thursday? I attended that one. Lots of wholesaling deals last week.
In addition to what Dawn shared BTW, R.I.N.G is today and can be found on Facebook and Meetup
R.i.S.E - Real Estate | Investment | Strategies | Entrepreneurship meets on 2nd Tuesday and can be found on Facebook and Meetup.
Dealmaker has an annual conference and an expanding nationwide footprint plus a mastermind like group for all that meets on Zoom ever Wednesday at noon.
Greater Richmond REIA and a few more can be found on FB and Meetup.
I look forward to meeting you. I do large renos, short term (AirBnB / VRBO) and Mid term (traveling professionals) rentals.
Have so much fun.
Ron
Thank you for the info! I've joined Richmond RING and will absolutely look into the others you mentioned. I was not at the Hanover area meetup, which group is that?
Thanks again for the reply and info and I look forward to meeting you as well!

Thank you! I actually am attending my first meetup this Thursday. Are there any meetups that you would particularly recommend for someone like myself? Thanks again for the help!

Hey all,
I'm brand new to the world of real estate investing and looking to learn the ropes. I work as a Firefighter full time in Richmond, Va and would love to supplement my income on my days off. Right now my focus is simply to learn all I can and connect with people who are immersed in this world. My wife and I bought our first house 4 years ago using the VA loan and I'd specifically like to learn how to finance a rental property using little or no money of my own. Thanks for reading and I look forward to the future in this new endeavor!
