I applied this strategy a couple years ago so happy to provide guidance of who I worked with and what seems to work/not. 

I can't do much until my sons arrive in a couple of weeks to do the big renovations but arbitration least I didn't get stalled due to being overwhelmed.

One thing I would suggest is before signing up for mentoring is to attend one of their 2 or 3 day events. 

Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

@Nigel YarbroughTo find cash buyers and structure a lucrative deal, join local real estate investment groups, contact agents, search public records, attend property auctions, use online platforms, connect with wholesalers, and send direct mail campaigns.

If you are interested in attending the next one feel free to DM and I can share more information about the next event. 

MTR is treated like an LTR from what I understand and I already own a couple LTR's so would rather do more of those than an MTR and avoid the extra hassle of furnishing, etc.  

HI TimothyThe best way is to attend local meetups and connect with people within the community.

I would suggest once you move back to the US try to attend real estate networking events where you will be able to network with all types of real estate investors from newbies to experienced investors.

We have done section 8 in a couple of markets and been happy with it, but the Tampa Housing Authority has been very hard to get a ahold of and I can't seem to figure out how to even enroll my homes in the program.
