There are a few MTR Facebook groups that are very active and the community is always sharing MTR booking leads.

Watch the local newspaper, browse local and state government websites, and keep websites like the HUD Home Store bookmarked, which will alert you to up-and-coming properties.Attend local eventsLocal events such as community gatherings, property auctions, or real estate investment meetups are excellent places to discover off-market deals.

I find so many incredible business owners and entrepreneurs out there are really good at making money, contributing to their community, creating jobs, etc., but then don't have time or brain power left to focus on taxes.

Dear Community/Future Friends,I hope you’re doing well.

Just wanted to thank everyone in this fantastic community - what a wealth of knowledge you all carry!
