There are a couple of good networking groups in Kansas City.  

And @Phillip Pommier I currently have a few SFR fix and flip properties in Bend well as a couple multifamily deals.

What has job growth and population growth been over the past couple years and where is it projected?

I'm not going to go beyond one property for at least a couple years though, so putting 25% down doesn't really save me "time" or allow me the "freedom" to buy more properties, since I won't want to for a while.  

I am working with a couple fellow wholesalers right now trying to close some deals.

Joseph County, branded the South Bend Region, is located in North Central Indiana, with a population of 267,618 people.

At this point, we feel they are expecting everything to feel brand new (their previous apartment was in a brand new complex) and it just won't feel that way in a house that was built in the 1960's.

I have been rehabbing homes for a couple of years but never on my own.

A couple of ideas we've been brainstorming:Postcards shaped differently, maybe in the shape of a houseBig text offering to make a $1 donation to charity for calling our number just to let us know who their current management company isHandwritten lettersPlease share any innovative ideas you may have to grab owner's attention for mailers or ways that have been successful for you in the past. 

I have been a Newbie, BP follower for a couple of months and I have not seen any single house Deal that was better than this and most of the numbers that I see for properties that are offered, are losers.
