@Thomas Harr I purchase 3-5 properties a month at tax sales, the MLS and my network of other investors.

Please give me some pro's/con's of seeking flooded properties, these are clearly distressed properties, but I want to go into this eyes-wide open.Thanks,Frank & Robin 

I would love to network and learn.

@Justine ScheuherI would recommend that since you have little knowledge of what renovations cost, I would first network to see if you can find another RE investor willing to partner with you that knows the costs. 

Looking to network with real estate investors, agents, contractors, lenders, you name it!  

Also, what are the best ways to network and get my foot in the door? 

Network and educate yourself while you focus on changing your trajectory.  

I am always looking to meet and network with people in my area. 

Property management is 8-10% all day long nation wide. 8% vacancy is only one vacant month a year with nothing for turnover cost.

@Nathaniel Birdsong I recommend you attend the local REIA and the Greensboro Deal Maker Sessions to network with like-minded REIs.
