Key tips for finding the right property include focusing on cash flow, researching local market trends, and networking with investors.Good luck!

These groups "find the deal" by raising money for other operator/syndicators, they market themselves (often with tag lines on LinkedIn of: I help busy (fill in industry) professionals create passive income through real estate),  They raise money from their own network and funnel it into a syndicators deal for part of the GP ownership.  

Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

That’s the network I use to refer my clients out of state and I’ve always found top tier agents.

Any networking is appreciated. 

Contact local authorities, consider long-term rentals (LTRs), work with a local realtor, and network with other investors to ensure the property fits your long-term goals.Good luck!

If you are looking for ways to find people to network with, I would suggest joining a real estate investment club such as Lifestyle's Unlimited, they have over 55,000 members. 

I would continue to put offers out, continue sending letters, doing calls and networking. 3,000 letters with a 2% response rate is not bad but you have to do volume with letters, most people that do that strategy are sending out a ton of letters.

Typically wholesalers just reach out to their networks, not the general public.
