Many people do on-market wholesaling.

@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.

The police never reached out to me.Fast forward 10 days later and I'm getting a notice that I have to appear for an administrative hearing because I was "allowing" gang activity to occur and jeopardizing the safety of the community.

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.

I am also a realtor in MD & DE and have been helping other people get STR's in that area. 

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

I'm not necessarily looking to invest in this area (probably upstate), but looking to meet people in the area I can learn from/build a like-minded community to keep me motivated.

The Palms saw prices sky rocket when people found out they had the potential to make $50k - $70k and they were selling for $170k- $300k.

Still shocks me there are people on this earth that will allow someone to take over their loan payments that could impact their credit.
