I accepted that I'll sound a little shaky or clearly like a beginner, but I started cold calling numbers, mailing properties, and googled every real estate agent, property manager, and landlord in my area and any title companies or real estate attorneys I could just to practice speaking skills and ask random questions about how they run their buissness or how other investors are doing it.

Even though the images may be a few years old, it can still give you a general idea of wha the area is like. 

For others, It might be a discussion on a random day or through tangential pursuits at work (Real Estate agent, Property Manager, Lawyer buys a deal through work).

Some say it takes 100, some say it take 1000 random analyzations to find a deal. 

Because of this, my property management is going to help with organizing the rehab, and gives me peace of mind being a boots on the ground and security in knowing I don't have some random contractor running off with my money. 

I use a totally random number that I memorized years ago and has nothing to do with my birthday, ssn, or any other combination that's related to me. 

The phone numbers, no surprise, often turn out to be fake or random.

You'd be surprised how a random meeting can turn into a friendship or mentor-ship, but you have to be willing to put your face out there and take the time to develop relationships and acquire knowledge along the way.

The likelihood of some random vagrant stealing something like that is extremely low.
