I tested 5-6 people on Fiverr who claimed to have access to Lexis Nexis, TLO and such skip tracing tools.

Possibly I can source some deals from some code enforcement people and other creative places I can think of, but that will take some time and bird-dogs.Need help with finding deals, networking whether it be with other REIs or REAs, attorneys, financial planners/funding, confidence, and knowledge.I am determined and willing to work for this.

There are a LOT of people that have money, but no time, knowledge, or experience.

It's great that you're trying to network with other people, altough I don't think you are making many important connections around here, did you try other methods?

The personal aspect that people like seems to be lost. 

Many people do this, others don't.

If you don’t plan on working as a traditional agent helping people buy/sell properties it may be best to save your time/money and just dive deep into wholesaling. 

So I've talked to some people about building a wholesale business and they say network with real estate agents and investors.

The first question you would want to ask...do people come to this area to camp, or would they want a home?

If you use the search tool on here you can see the comments people have made about screening.
