An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

I am a real estate agent trying to make new connections that is looking into property investing in the future. 

Happy to connect if you have all essential details.

I am willing to pay to leverage their connections, especially considering I am looking for my first out-of-state deal.

They also handle legal matters, like making sure the property follows the rules or dealing with evictions if necessary.For finding deals, I recommend starting by connecting with investor-friendly agents in your target market.

@Barbara Potts I'd love to connect.

I'm not in a huge hurry as the cost of holding the property is low, so I'm taking my time to learn as much as I can and connect with the right people. 

I would recommend leveraging the BP forums to connect with existing syndicators.

I’d recommend starting by connecting with local investor groups and networking with other professionals in the area.Also, seek out teams that are actively investing and managing properties on the ground.
