I was trying to find who can help me out I was thinking about an architect that’s a good idea most of them only seem to do big projects compared to mine but I will look into that Facebook group as well appreciate it! 

I've posted on Craigslist, Facebook groups, HouseCashin, LinkedIn, 'buy my house for cash' websites, etc...Would love some feedback!

I also use Zillow and even Facebook marketplace.

Thanks for the tips @Mindy Nicol, I do think MTR would be easier to manage for me allthough I do have time for a part time job, I see where you are coming from with repair costs and all and STR sounds like it can be a pain (I followed a few groups on facebook and have read horror stories :D ). 

The best way to do it if you dont have a network, is to find the deal, then post what you have to a group on facebook or seek out PML, etc.

Most of our leads come from Zillow (80-90%) but I also recommend going to the off-campus housing Facebook page.

From what I understand there are numerous amateur beekeepers that can be found on Facebook groups that will do this for a low fee or even free.

Have you tried Facebook for buying the property?

Start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers.

I have heard Texas and most areas would be closer to $100 when its all said and done.You can find good contractors through realtors, HBA in your area, REI Facebook groups and meetups etc.Make sure to check references of past and current clients, visit some jobs in process as you can tell a lot about a contractor by how the job site is kept up and organized.
