I drove neighborhoods and had pre-planned meetings also--but the RE meeting/club was a bonus for good local info and contacts.

As a bonus you’ll have a proper lease and a standard operating procedure. 

We have done this twice, and it works out ok in the short term… the bonus is that you immediately start collecting rent without having to rehab the property.
