I'm almost positive I've seen Memphis real estate agents post on the forums.

Networking with local wholesalers and real estate agents who specialize in investment properties can also lead to off-market opportunities.

If you want to connect buyers and sellers together get a license.New York has the most stringent rules for real estate.

Also make sure to check out @Nathan Brooks' group Bridge Real Estate Investing Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bridgerealestatemeetup/ 

I used the funds to acquire real estate that appreciated signficantly.

I am new to the group, real estate investing in general, and trying to learn so that I can take my first step into real estate.

I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here since 2019, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in real estate.If you’d like to dive deeper into Detroit-specific strategies or need some pointers on how to get started, feel free to reach out!

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

As @Chris Seveney there are lots of buyers for the real estate backed notes but fewer for the business only notes (without real estate as collateral). 

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.
