The Dallas-Fort Worth area seems to have a nice variety of properties to invest in and housing seems to be relatively cheap too.

I always frequent the Big City and will hopefully be staying on the Northside in 2017.

It amazes me how frequently they fail to redeem tax sales either for lack of knowledge or based upon business decisions.

We prorate the following month and charge full amount for first month.A good property manager should also communicate with you frequently, not just when there are repair issues. 

@Stephen Torti you’re probably looking for a “list broker”, which will cost a little money but be able to provide exactly what you’re looking for.There are a lot of them, and it’s a frequent topic here on BP since it’s very common for investors to buy their mailing lists from a list broker.

I visit Charleston frequently and as long as the numbers make sense I would say its a good buy.  

I've tried wholesaling, seller financing, and variety of other investing tactics.  

I have read many, many quality and experienced posts here on BP and am enjoying the variety of topics, and learning new things.My goals are to establish quality connections and build trusted relationships with real estate investors who have properties available for purchase, or need investment properties "off market" (which is where I feel I add value), or who require  financing on their projects, which I absolutely loved doing when I was a CRE Loan Officer.

For very passive investors, the same could be achieved using a variety of passive vehicles ranging from REITs to real estate crowdfundng investments, albeit at likely lower returns.

While not as effective as a face to face I've gotten go leads doing this when I'm in areas where they don't meet frequently or I'm there between meetings.
