@Jay Hinrichs I'm in Portland, OR and I say it is possible. I personally can attest to it. I started learning about investing in July. I did my first deal in August and lucked up and made 8000 on my first deal. Call it luck but I called a home owner and with biggerpockets.com closed my first deal. last month I decided I would start my own marketing campaign and bring myself more deals. I took my last 300.00 and purchased a list of absentee owner here in Portland Area and mailed out 300 personally signed and stamped letters asking to purchase their property. I recently built a relationship with a RE agent and he will supply a list every month. I knew an attorney very new to the legal field but she passed the bar shes my attorney no fee. Relationships, relationships are key its not always about the money starting out.
