I usually join all the facebook and meetup groups in the area in which I buy and go through 3 months of posts:)  and then connect and meetup and then see..but then I am very patient...

They are all on Facebook.

"for rent by owner", investors)-search for non-homestead properties in your county and send postcards to those owners that own homes that meet the criteria you want to focus on-network with real estate attorneys -network with trustees in banks that offer trustee services-look up court records of landlords who have filed their own evictions and send them postcards -network with HOAs that have non-homestead properties in that association -when you see a "for rent by owner" sign in your area, send the owner a letter -join Facebook groups (for rent by owner, landlords) and being to contribute -improve your SEO on your website-find someone who can help you gather landlord info from Zillow, etc. to name a few :) 

Especially when you consider REP status from STR management. 

Aside of the MLS, properties are marketed on google (Adwords), FB Marketplace and PPC, Facebook groups and IG ads.

@Becca F. if you add an ADU in San Francisco you change the status of the SFH to a 2 unit building, and then you’re definitely under rent control.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, facebook, or a Google search.

Roll money into paid ads on Facebook or YouTube.

A really great agent will invest in house cleaning, window cleaning, staging, and a Facebook ad campaign which reaches over 100k Sacramento area residents.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.It would also help if you tag all our posts with your location so other users in Dallas find your posts easier.
