@Richard Howell , in-person networking is really the most powerful way.

He also has webinars and conference calls for free that connects a network of private lenders and note buyers. 

I am looking forward to network and connect with investors in the Virginia area.

I have an inherited tenant that was arrested for two counts of delivery of a controlled substance.

Also network at your local REIA and put the word out what you are looking for.

Hello, long story short I’ve been networking and looking at properties for a few years now.

I agree, many deals come from networking, and social intervene 

If you are in the very beginning of this, I would highly recommend hashing out the items listed above and then become OBSESSED with learning as much as you can, networking, and following your curiosity to something that has a lot of interest.It looks like you may have interest in flipping, so if you have anyone in your network that does real estate and may have the skinny on certain areas, it may be worth it to focus on that area as you begin gaining experience.

If  using IKEA - have to go to a store, place an order in person (their website sucks) and schedule delivery.

We need to build our network of wholesalers, so even if your current properties don't match this listing, please reach out so that we can add you to our contact list for future opportunities!
