I'm not sure I can promote facebook groups on here but the most active one is the Millennial Real Estate Investor Group which is MSP based and has ~3k/members in it.

They are likely looking for rent-by-the-room for the community so being intentional about creating and promoting an inclusive and productive environment.

@Joe Smith I don't know this particular group but I am VERY suspect of people promoting tax liens.

@Juan Carlos Flores Garcia I just saw a promotion for a credit union I use.

There are SO many out there, but if you stick with one "sphere of influence" you will not expose yourself to the diversity of operators.  

Offer to follow up, text, call etc… or offer to help promote their brand, via social media or video or any other marketing… I did this for years before I was full time and it was a great, gradual experience. 

From the far-right we'll see more efforts to expand and protect property owners' highly-favorable tax status,  some of which will happen, and efforts to scale back laws intended to promote greater equal housing opportunity by limiting landlord discretion, most of which will not happen. 

Oakland is  a reasonably big market, you will find good & Diverse inventory also.

The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here.
