I have a good working knowledge of the area so if you ever want to chat I’d be happy to help anyway that I can.

My background is in online marketing.

i find it a lot more efficient to pre-screen online and then have the conversation if everything seems ok upfront.   

Once you have an address of a property that appears to be in distress, you can go to the county assessor to find the owner (even online in some counties) for free (if you don't value your time), or you can use a paid service that will give you all the details right on your phone while you are standing out front, owner or non-owner occupied, value, comps, equity, vacant, even their phone number.

A lot of information can be found online, through books, your local real estate commission, other agents, investors, etc.Focus on learning and making connections. 

Google online see what you can find.

We have quite a few pop up here and there so let me know if you want to chat about what in particular you are looking for.

Go to as many as you can and meet as many people as you can.Keep your connections and reading going here on BP, your networking will be a mix of online and local if you are smart.

Cozy is great as you bring more units online and want to utilize their listing/credit and background checks/ payments.

Maybe we should grab coffee sometime - always good to chat with folks with similar passion in multifamily...
