All real estate is local so you need to attend local REIA meetings, any investor meetings you can find on MeetUp.com, local landlord association meetings.This is where you will learn who the players are in your area, how they find deals, how to estimate repairs, how to negotiate with sellers, which attorneys they use, which contractors, where they find deals.And finding buyers when you have a true deal is so easy.

The flippers are big time players, doing 100 houses a year (that's 2 houses a week).

On a smaller scale, just call a local broker (better: call all top players, hopefully there are 3-5) and tell them you have 7 properties that you want to place in their rental program, and want details on how their rental management operation works.

It's a con as far as I'm concerned, with the majority of players having zero knowledge they are part of it.
