The 1 mile income radius could be misleading in either way to the positive or negative if the property is on the right or wrong "side of the tracks" so to speak.The 80% occupancy, if it's solely due to the mismanagement of the current owner could be an opportunity. 

This experience has provided me with a strong foundation in acquisitions, valuations, and deal sourcing.

Coos Bay - The main delay with application in this area is whether the property is on public utilities or has a septic system and private or public water source.

@Daniel ShaferRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

My family consists of my wife and three kids, and I’m currently the sole earner.

I occasionally get requests to manage commercial and love to have a referral source. 

The process seems daunting and overwhelming, and I am not confident I will put the time in to talk to sources, analyze, and find properties for investing purposes.

Great to meet you.We source from four primary suppliers: Lowe's, Home Depot, Floor & Decor, and Amazon.

Hi @Nicholas L.We are sourcing our deals through a combination of resources.

Plus, with it being just myself running my own business, and after reading up on how many cash buyers other wholesalers have put in their network to buy properties, that are also sole proprietors, I'm going to assume that having a huge cash buyer list is not really efficient at this point in the game.
