There is a random dentist office that has been sitting in a residential area next to my house for the last 10 years vacant!

I can randomly walk into the building, but none of them would put their contact information in the hallway.

I just closed on a SFH in our market (Cuyahoga Falls, OH) from the MOST random lead...my husband's hair stylist.

You just need a partner who is of legal age or a real investor who will reliably buy your leads (not a random list of 600 people who may or may not be willing to close a deal with you).

My recommendation is to use a password manager such as LastPass to store your codes and make them randomly generated codes.

Seemed real easy, have punched them in tons of times (random houses on Zillow or Redfin).

How does someone randomly pick a state/town to invest in?

I accepted that I'll sound a little shaky or clearly like a beginner, but I started cold calling numbers, mailing properties, and googled every real estate agent, property manager, and landlord in my area and any title companies or real estate attorneys I could just to practice speaking skills and ask random questions about how they run their buissness or how other investors are doing it.

For others, It might be a discussion on a random day or through tangential pursuits at work (Real Estate agent, Property Manager, Lawyer buys a deal through work).

Some say it takes 100, some say it take 1000 random analyzations to find a deal.
