I started out last summer buying into all the typical internet rookie stuff like investing out of state. 4 months of late research nights and early morning phone calls later I flew to Ohio and almost purchased a couple places there (thank you to @Ryan Deeter, @Bryan Thomas, and everyone else that put up with my relentless phone calls and emails.

I’m hoping for a 0-4 unit A/B FHA.I have an apartment lease that ends in May and am currently relentlessly scrolling Realtor/Zillow and practicing analyzing with DealCheck.I’m realizing a deficit of on-market deals and ALSO realizing a need to pursue off-market deals via networking with clients at my job, accessing tools such as Propstream and initiating local landlords in the area.I’m curious if anyone has any insight or encouragement to share about this “stage” in the process and how you have found success and/or breakthrough.Warmly,Nic

Stay relentless

I recommend you read the book Relentless by Tim Grover.Feel free to reach out to me directly if you need more advice.

I think that people can get ahead in a market like this by being consistent and relentless in searching for deals.

Success will come if you're patient and relentless. 

If you invest in a privately-held and self-managed residential portfolio of C-class single-family and small multifamily, and you believe you're going to make your money off cash-flow, that is, relentlessly maximizing your take from your tenants, you're already losing sight of what's important in the game.
