Highly recommend checking out https://www.cincinnatireia.com/HUGE group of local investors and vendors that network about something almost every day, virtually and in person.

You can try networking with agents who have access to off-market properties. 

We identified this N Lofgren Rd property through our partner network, and upon evaluation, we recognized its potential.

Celebrate small wins, learn from each experience, and lean on your network for support.

If people are spending this much time talking about my verbal delivery in response to questions, I think they are missing the point.

My partner and I both have 9-5 jobs with mine requiring work travel, so it has been a challenge attending local meet-ups regularly; which is why I am so glad this platform exists to help us network! 

NETWORK!!!

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments. 

You want to choose an agent that invests in the asset class you are seeking and utilize their network and connections which will save you months if not years of work.

It is discussed at most of these meet ups I go to (usually in the networking that is before and after the organized meeting).
