NETWORK!!!

If anyone has any recommendations on networks or networking tools, it would be greatly appreciated. 

This is what I put together, and I think I'll wait to make sure rent on time in February before sending it via email and delivery confirmation mail. 

Be patient and do your best to network.

Aside from grass roots networking, what technology can help me find pre-market deals?

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

We are a not for profit member community that has tons of networking events, educational seminars and vendors to help you in any journey you find yourself attracted to. 

Networking and securing the right financing will be key to getting that first deal done.
