The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

It is possible that over time, Google ranking metrics recognize the uniqueness of your key words, and you move up in the rankings organically (without a cost to you), so that you can be found easily on Google searches for your location.  

To find someone, I’d start by reaching out to local rehab centers or recovery organizations as they often know operators who are looking for housing.

for got to mention you can always go to your local state "secretary of state" website and search registered company details by registered agent( eg: Anderson Registered Agents), many states gives access to "articles of organization"  to get few examples :-)https://esos.nv.gov/EntitySear...https://bsd.sos.mo.gov/search Originally posted by @Tim Silvers:Originally posted by @Sam P.

By accepting pets, it not only has it increased my cash flow per stay, but it has opened up my place for more bookings. 

It has a great search option.I like how visually organized the software is. 

If you know of any online forums or organizations where I can learn from others and expand my network and knowledge on wholesaling or getting my first deal, I’d really appreciate any recommendations Thanks in advance for your help!

I love where you mind is at and how organized your post/plan is.

I was determined and wanted something that I could sustain for the long term for my family's livelihood and control the effort I put in and the results I got from that effort.I specialize in sourcing properties for fix and flip investors nationwide (wholesaling, but with real-world experience and closed profitable deals for myself and my investor partners) with a roadmap to acquire rental properties as finances permit.A lot of our deals are currently coming through organic search as I have a background in substantial traffic generation through search engine optimization and organic means.

These do require more time and organization though.Looking forward, after 5+ years of owning a property, assuming you bought in an appreciating area, you should have enough equity built up via tenants paying down your mortgage for you and appreciation to refinance out of the VA loan (if you haven't already) or even cashout to buy more or to supplement your earnings.Theoretically, if you have enough properties you could refinance at least one a year.
