I would go with "I'm a local investor looking for new properties, if you know anyone looking to sell please have them call me *hands them a card*"And/or write down the address, mail them something and/or try to find a phone number to call via your own efforts or skiptrace service.Deal machine app is pretty cool I've heard, never used it myself.

I also recommend getting the "meetup" app and checking on there.

In terms of the software, what kind of app are you developing now?

I often go to the gym and have traded my heart pumping music playlist for Bigger Pocket podcast.

First download @Jon Crosby 's app called click to flip and run a few numbers just to get a broad idea of feasibility. 

Thats why I'm really enjoying this app because of pwople like you willing to help.

Sure we would all like to time things perfectly when the cycle dips/there’s a crash, but if you are planning to hold long term it’s very different than flippers who have houses when the market crashes and “are playing musical chairs and don’t have a chair”.
