To grab your first property, mix with local groups who invest in real estate, talk to property agents, use online sites, send out direct mail, scout for places by driving around, and get in touch with people who sell deals.

Remember that effective mail campaigns require multiple touches, and it's important to continue skip tracing to reach absentee owners who may not receive standard mail.If cold calling isn't your preference, consider hiring a virtual assistant (VA) to manage this task for you.
