One local investor is trying to help me get started, but deals seem to be few and far between.I am thinking of starting a "you choose, I buy" marketing campaign that basically advertises to companies, stating that I would buy a facility to their specifications, renovate if necessary and lease it to them.What is the consensus, pros/cons of this?

Some properties will have the Fannie Mae Homepath mortgage logo on their advertising.

Any help finding private investors would be great...also, are there any good websites that I can advertise on?
