Kevin - Please share any resources that we may be missing from our bank REO directory.

The preservation Directory being one http://www.preservationdirectory.com/HistoricalPreservation/Home.aspx Historic Properties I found to be unhelpful, and United Country seem to have a a few listings.

Did not know the directory was on BP.

I am sure there are many different ways, But, as a starting point....is there a way I can get a directory of landlords and thier addresses??

You can search our Real Estate Club directory or go to the groups and see if there are any appropriate groups there.As for waiting to attend a real estate club (usually termed REIA), don't.

Allen - We've got a directory of real estate clubs on our Resource page, and you can find that page along with thousands of other resources by scrolling down the left sidebar of the forums.

Start in the STARTING OUT forums, read our ARTICLES directory articles and consume all the information that is available here.I think you'll feel a bit better with some knowledge behind you.

Be sure to also read the articles in our article directory and our blog.

Our directory doesn't show any clubs nearby, but there may well be some.Landlording, by Leigh Robinson is a good book.
