So far I've just been looking at MLS sources for deals, that's probably the main problem.If you don't mind, I'd definitely like to hear more about from you about the benefits of investing locally.

I've just sent out my first mailing also and I've not been OVERWHELMED, but I have been pleased.I have put a Podio CRM system in place (free) and my voicemails forward straight to Podio to start the CRM activity. 

I recently found that some rental platforms like this one https://rentberry.com/tenant-screening/, for instance use it for tenants verification as well.

I've just been making offers on my own behalf as a buyer/wholesaler.

I recently found a house being leased that I applied and got approved for.

Im pretty new to the whole investing thing myself, But I've just been trying to learn as much as I can right now, reading books and the internet stuff like that.

I've just finished the beginners guide, and have been using my walking time to listen to the podcasts- I can't believe how much information is available here, on the blogs, and the podcasts.I haven't reached out to any clubs yet, but it's on my list.

. ;) I've just started attending a local REIA meeting and I think you will find they are well worth the investment of time.

I've just moved to Columbus and am literally amazed by the volume of good quality housing at low prices.

I've recently moved to Cincinnati last December and I've just put in my first offer (fingers crossed).
