@Rami KhaldiThe best way to find people in your area is to attend local meetups.

Many people do on-market wholesaling.

A fair number of people with Duluth investments who are outside of Duluth area as well!  

@Balaji Vasudevan I recommend starting by going to local meetups, meet other people who were in your position, learn what they did and see what interests you.

Hi all,I've heard several people mention using OPM to invest in real estate.

Unfortunately, BP is full of people paid to give referrals.  

I recently purchased a duplex in Columbus and discovered after closing that the former owner had an estoppel in place with one of the existing tenants.

By ONLY looking at people with a lot of money in stocks and bonds, they get a very different sort of person than you might find on this site.

I’m from Cameron NY as the location thing wouldn’t allow me to put my town I live in for some reason.The first step is just to get appointments with people who say they're interested in selling.

But I get that many people starting out don't think of this, so you are right.
