I've lived in Northeast climates most of my life, and can tolerate and sometimes prefer Southeast or climates that are more hot than they are cold.

@Judson Osbon wholesaling And fix and flip and no haven’t gotten started trying to figure out where you find property to cold call

Not sure if you're aware, but the market is extremely hot in Boise and that goes for rentals as well.

Sounds like you have time so driving for destressed property would be a way to generate a list to cold call or door knock.

I am planning on trying to cold call some local investors, because I am looking for a mentor, however I have recently moved here for the military and have little to no connections or knowledge of the town.

@Frank JiangThank you so much for your extremely informative replies.

We cold called on the lot and did the whole owner-builder process.
