i think its more of a mix at least for me that's how its been, and yes i'm pretty new to this as well. i'm working with a agent, i'm trying to network with other investors, flippers, wholesalers, etc. there a few local groups that have meet ups a couple time a month all around town. on the weekends i go the the neighborhoods i see myself owning a rental property and drive around looking at any for sale signs, distress looking homes, grass that hasn't been cut in a while stuff of the sort. on the podcast your hear a lot about yellow letter and cards being sent out. the MLS is a great place to look. websites such as HAR, Zillow and others as well can be very helpful. sorry i wasn't of more help just trying to share what i learned in the last 6 months or so here on BP.
