To get started with fix and flips, first define your criteria, including location, property type, and budget.

I am trying to locate experienced investor friendly title companies and or attorneys to use for closings in the Kalamazoo, Portage, and Grand Rapids MI area.

Located in eastern Oregon.

It's possible to get some motivated sellers through a website with assistance of SEO , website optimization and PPC, but it's not a basket I would put all my eggs into if I was trying to locate the sellers. 

I'm eager to learn the ropes, connect with experienced investors, and contribute to this fantastic community.A little about me:- Location: Bellevue , PA-Focus: Real estate wholesaling, with a long-term goal of building a portfolio of rental properties.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

Depends on the actual location in Southern Illinois.

What market are you located in?

@Martti Eckert here's the big issue that no one really talks about that you hopefully find helpful (this is copy & pasted):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

After this, we are hoping to pursue more destination-location STRs in Oregon and Washington, and possibly BRRRR LTRs closer to home to diversify a bit.Help me analyze this potential build.

I disagree a little about what you said about companies are entitled to fair market rents, I believe that depends on where they are located.
