The usual way, but not the right way, to try to buy a rental is by finding a property on the MLS, where agents congregate, make an offer and then try to get financing to buy the property.

I have helped quite a few investors dispose of their 2-4 units this year and they have been cleaning house.  

I recently relocated to Arizona, drawn by its rapid industrial growth, particularly in high-potential sectors such as semiconductors and electric vehicles.What I Bring to the Table:I have hands-on experience as a real estate agent during my college years and am currently exploring opportunities to transfer my license to Arizona.

If you're still not having luck sourcing a wholesaler, your next best bet is to network and connect with an investor-focused real estate agent.

My original plan was to utilize a real estate agent to be my property manager that I met through a Dave Ramsey referral program, but I'm exploring if I should attempt this on my own.  

Called a few Foremost agents in NYC and either no pickup or don't do over 3 units. :( :( 

Tax accountants, investor friendly agents, 1031 exhange experts etc.

I highly suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you don't buy in the wrong locations.I like the west side of Cleveland.

Since Covid this is just the way of the world with STR/MTRs, it can require more cleaning and cause damage but if you want to complete it is a necessity. 

I was told by my agent that I need to get the tenant out because it would be easier to sell.
