As far as networking, get on 2-3 Facebook groups that focus on target areas and investment strategies of interest.

Stay focused & keep feeling out your niches.

Just focus on private money lenders?

Recently formed an LLC with a business partner of mine with a focus on tax liens here in Louisville, KY.

Since Section 8 is a federal thing that is implemented at the local level, I strongly suggest you focus on what landlords local to the real estate in question have to say.

Excited to see what will happen now that I'm able to focus on Real Estate full time.
