Networking with Canadians who’ve invested in the U.S. and finding good local agents or property managers will also help a lot.

Think about where those people hang out and network. 

This deal came through Partner Driven's local network in Windsor, NC.

Novices can prosper in distressed properties given a strong support network of brokers, contractors, and financial advisors.

They’ll have a strong network and be more in tune with the opportunities available in the rental market, whether you're interested in single-family homes or multi-unit buildings.If you're focusing on single-family homes, try to keep them within the same area.

You can ask if anyone in your network has a referral or had a good experience.

What is your plan on networking in NYC?

@Laura GenoneI have my own information saved as a contact in my phone and it allows me to text, airdrop, or email my information to people I network with.

I’m currently active on BiggerPockets to connect with like-minded investors, exchange ideas, explore potential opportunities, and provide opportunities through my network to collaborate with others.

I was also impressed by their vast network and access to off market properties.
