Are you local, or investing from out of the area? 

Find your local Private/Hard Money lenders and partner with them.

But my sample size is greater here in the US. ya myself I had horrid room in Venice  also Rome   London and Paris were OK when I went for local brands.. 

Must know local market well, and be familiar with local ordinances. 

@Tony Kim I think you`re just looking at the allocation of money strictly from a Return on  "investement" (being a poor investment), where as the point of a Life Insurance/Living Benifits policy. what your Paying for is in case the individual becomes incapacitated/ has an Illness or Dies, there is a large sum of money that the family receives (and would not otherwise have) to help pay for expenses associated with the unfortunate event, and being able to carry on with life with less of a financial burden compounded with the emotional burden . being able to have retirement money liquid is icing on the cake. 

Even facebook might have some good local groups for you.

Some protips: do NOT post to local groups when you post on Facebook Marketplace.

Adbi's local market knowledge was instrumental in securing the property for $135,000.

I worked with Sandra Aguilar, I local RE agent.

I would connect with some local realtors and have them produce reports for you with some data out of the MLS . the filters are super efficient
