@John WarrenJohn, are the meet-ups you organize still held in person, or are you providing virtual options?

Virtually the exact same scenario, same lender, etc.

You can also get a Virtual Assistant to start COLD-CALLING sellers for you.Goodluck

Just be sure you don’t claim to own the property -until you actually do. https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/12388/86773-renting-real-estate-without-the-owners-consent-isn-t-that-fraudTo enable necessary repairs, you can choose to let your tenant use some or all of the rent for the materials needed to improve the property, so long as the tenant provides his/her own labor.

Figure out the process to sort through the records and hire a virtual assistant to do it for you.

Which VA firm gave you the best experience with cold calling and appointment setting?

Get involved in local meetups, many of which are “virtual” these days.

I am currently in Indianapolis virtually and it's going okay.

I’m out of state so virtual for me.

Lots of groups are virtual at the moment so perhaps any groups in Washington state (or where you want to invest, if it's not near home) might be interesting & informative.I'm actually off to a (non-virtual) meetup right now (in a different state).Good luck
