I am a pretty active landlord and probably have higher expenses than some landlords as it has been my policy to take care of my properties to get good tenants. 

Having her mine the MLS for me for deals that fall outside of his typical Realtor activities/targets/inventory and which fall into my wholesale/investor wheelhouse.That said, what specific deals are most appropriately located inside of the MLS and which investors and/or wholesalers would appreciate getting their hands on?

I've been growing my education in RE for about a year, and my wife and I have been actively looking for our first deal for about 6 months now.While we wait for that first deal, however, I want to make sure I'm also continuing to invest in gaining practical experience that will help that first one be a success!

Many towns are actively taking over the properties or fixing the problems and billing the owners.   

That said, I agree with them all that 30 days with little activity means price.

This will keep you pretty busy if you're active and engaging folks on BP, but not only will it build your network crazy fast it'll also expose you to a ton of different areas of REI and help you to decide what path you want to take.

Others in the Rogue Valley are CPM, QPM, Oak Tree, My Favorite Property Managers, and so on.

The real estate investor group is super active and they share all of their events through there and their facebook group. 

Another might be direct mail, driving for dollars, cold calling, or asking your favorite cousin if they happen to know anyone who might want to sell a house.

My favorite asset so far is the Small Multi-Family, I encourage you to look hard at those, but first and foremost I encourage you to find your "Why".
