Directed marketing to pre-foreclosures, a website with seo, networking, driving for $$, go to some local meetings.

I am particularly interested in understanding various investment strategies, networking with experienced investors, and finding my first rental property.I believe that learning from others' experiences is invaluable, and I am here to absorb as much knowledge as I can.

There are a bunch of great investors who are more than happy to share and network (including myself). 

I know some investors who are interested in larger multifamily and encourage me to go find the deals, which makes me really eager to try to get after it.  

I personally do a lot of networking and I get a few deals that fall into my lap a year. 

Build a solid team, analyze deals quickly, and network with local agents, lenders, and contractors.

Some people may think it is those with below market rents but i question if this is true as these tenants will now get max allowed rent increases Would they have gotten such large rent increases in the absence of rent control.

By buying down your rate and placing a larger down payment, you can still achieve true cash flow. 

I was looking for partners in my network who wanted to JV on this property, but they wanted to know for certain that the title was clear since it was through a wholesaler and not "traditionally" through a realtor.   

Grow your network in your sleep.
