I am a student of this industry.

I know of Cody Sperber and have partnered with one of his students out of CA.His strength is mail and marketing campaigns. 

Try the guys that advertise in TheFlyer.com or the Yellow Pages or Angie'sList.com Maybe, someone else can suggest the guy they use, but, an absentee owner wanting a big JOB done and the "contractor" will want at least 50% up front with all kinds of whining and crying about the money needed before the JOB is done and then he does nothing and your out of the money.

My plan right now is to pay off my last student debt by December, and then begin the process of acquiring my first property in the spring of next year.

I am a graduate student and need to draft one for an assignment.  

Currently I am working on paying off my student loans before I can really get started in investing.

Basically there's a lot more of inventory of victims (whoops, I meant to type "students") ready to fork over thousands of dollars than there are distressed houses right now.
