Josh and Brandon have no clue but we have become close friends on my commute to work.

Rental income might be a clue, but you could theoretically have houses paid off so, plus that would be too much analysis for them.

I still have no clue about Real Estate Investing however before 2021 is over I intend to own my first two properties.

For almost two years, I have been interested in investing in real estate without any clear path as what to do (I had an idea but no clue what I was doing).

No clue! 

Perhaps the "mailman" or someone of that nature to get any clues on vacant properties or absentee owners.

That may give a clue as to some current relatives that you may be able to contact.

i wasnt making offers since i had no clue how much to pay and i didnt know how i would find the money to buy it.  

Those walking through unescorted are able to pilfer belongings without your having a clue, until it's too late ...

Also go to youtube and search for moving to <city, state> or living in <city, state>If you check the census bureau or listen to the financial news to see where jobs and population growth is that will give you a clue.
