I see these properties listed on Zillow when I'm casually browsing, and am curious who purchases them and how. 

@Nathan G.My area is low population and I have browsed around and only found on that advertises for landlord/tenant representation.

I've been browsing the forums, listening to the podcast, attending webinars, and reading books for the past few weeks. 

Ideally, I would like to connect with sponsors that specialize in a strategy somewhere in the range of value-add to core-plus, as those strategies are best aligned with my personal risk preferences.I’ve browsed these forums for a while and I know how helpful y’all can be, so if you know of any parties that would be good to connect with please let me know!

Start talking with providers and browsing what good deals look like in their markets.

I browsed the online catalog from Ohio Cash Flow and read the newsletter of the available properties to buy.

I began to browse real estate listings and found the perfect house in an area we loved!!!

So when you see one with a good spread between purchase price and ARV, and its in a neighborhood where you can get good financing and rents, call the wholesaler and ask to go see the property.Be aware that other investors who already have a history with the wholesaler will probably start buying property sight unseen, and so that may be who you are competing with, but when you are just starting, take someone experienced in estimating rehab costs with you to verify the repair estimate.If you want to gauge how well the wholesaler knows what they are doing, check the county records office online or go down in person to browse all documents filed against the property.

I have been browsing this website quite a bit the last couple of weeks and figured I should sign up and start getting to know people. 

Hi, I have been browsing through pages and pages of the forums and not seen this specific type of scenario.
