There is a reason you see all these syndicators with their own podcasts, blogs, hosting and attending meetings.  

Start networking with local investors and attend investor meetups.

It would be a good idea to lookup meetups in the southern suburbs and attend them.

You can search on Google, attend REI meetings, or explore Facebook groups.People invest a lot of time and energy in generating off-market leads, and connecting with reliable, reputable sources who supply quality deals can be a game changer.

The open houses I attended for flips recently - their  costs were around $300,000 for a major renovation  in 2024.

GOREIA and CFRI are REIA's in the area but they cost money to join and attend.

I attended one of Kris' free webinars and even got on a call with one of his reps.
