Are you going to wholesale or develop them? 

Use them, but do not abuse them.Hang with people who are developers, investors and creative assignment experts.Cockeysville is a great Baltimore County area, I have done some transactions there.

In fact, most don't.In time you will develop your own numbers. 

--identify and choose online rent payment system--verify mailing address--determine how to turn one mailing address into 2 apartment addresses through USPS--develop packet for new tenants with utility phone numbers, my contact info, etc.These are a few off the top of my head, and certainly not inclusive.  

Developers have so overbuilt the rental market and the Parents/kids these days want such lavish accommodations that anything not new and shiny with a gym and a pool won't move as easily! 

I would love any advice on systems that experience and seasoned wholesalers have implemented that consistently brought results.I understand the need for persistence, as well as, a somewhat mechanical plan that I need to develop.

From there, I am not 100% clear as to the next step to take in this journey however, while figuring that out, I am reading books and blog after blog written by successful investors to gain as much knowledge as I can.At the advice of Gary Keller's "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" and numerous other real estate blogs, I know I will eventually just have cast my fears aside and take the dive and close my first deal but, as a new member on BiggerPockets, I am here to learn as much as I can about investing and about my market along the way.I look forward to engaging with and learning from the community here and developing my professional network along my journey into real estate investing.

That sort of relationship takes time to develop but when you have it, it's gold. 

However it is a little unconventional and rather than giving away money you don't need to give away I would focus on developing relationships with agents that are familiar with what you are looking for.

For the real estate agent looking to develop relationships with investors, what should he/she do to make themselves more marketable?
