I personally have seen a number of investors boasting about this on social media.

Nobody wants to sit down at a dinner table with randoms, but bar-top with food cooking, tv playing, its a great social place for them.  

What I mean by open source is looking for people on county public access site for civil/criminal records, social media websites and Google searches.Now have you ever found something that scares you about a perspective tenant about a lifestyle they live, use your imagination.Now with the fair housing act and all that how do you screen someone who is completely different than on there tenant application ?

Simply being the person people know, like, and trust in your every day social groups, and any investor meetings you start attending should generate a modest amount of sales per yer that will put some extra cash in your pocket, and take care of those scary fees that Russel is always talking about. 

I would advise you socialize here AND connect with an REI group in your area to get connected into a network of like minded folks who you can engage with face to face and voice to voice.  

I have to admit, I'm a bit shy with respect to Social Media and so I've been doing quite a bit of studying/reading/podcast listening over the past couple months and have been hesitant to reach out on BP until now.  

I have a few rentals in trusts that I own free and clear with no LLC simple process, even had to get the trustee to sign something, account opened with my social, but this is now a wall. 

It could be friends, family, or people in your social circles.

Are there any sort of social events going on around Orlando?
