I am quite new as well, however many would suggest finding both buyers and sellers by attending local REI meetups (search Meetup.com for your area), chatting with the members here on BP and posting in the marketplace (need a PRO account), as your drive around look for those "we buy houses" signs for local buyers, and of course Craigslist. 

One person that I hardly know besides chatting over a beer a couple of times asked to borrow $200 from me.

The majority of his employees work by email or phone and don't interact with the public.

If you ever want to grab coffee or set up a call / Zoom meeting to chat real estate, let me know.

If you want to chat more, send me a private message!  

Face to face interactions.

I block their number, then they call with a new number I have to block.There are ads for another seminar in Chat. 

Welcome to BP,Looking forward to interacting with you here.

Super nice guy, we chatted a long while at starbucks while putting the deal together.
