Any idea how to be a part of those specific groups? 

I live in NC, I'm 41, my wife is a high W2 earner, and we don't plan on touching this money for 12-15 years. 

Many beginners jump in without a plan leading to mismatched goals and markets.

While I'm excited about the potential, I'm also unfamiliar with the specific dynamics of the Orlando market.I'm particularly interested in finding a small multi-family property (duplex, triplex, or fourplex) that would be a good long-term hold.

You can utilize online resources such as the Worcester County Registry of Deeds (https://massrods.com/worcester/) for title searches, Realtor (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Worcester_MA) for market analysis, and Auction.com (https://www.auction.com/) for auction-specific details and property information.

I don't like to send "MLS Drip" messages to clients if there isn't specific criteria for the search.

Here are some of my next recommendations based on your current BP Profile Bio:- Listen to the BP Real Estate Rookie Podcast (https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcasts/real-estate-rookie) - Read "Set For Life" by @Scott TrenchI see that you are about to graduate college and plan to become an Army Officer by May 2025!

Try out the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance) plan to grow your list of homes fast.

I am specifically looking for 3-4 bed single family homes that are distressed.

A lot of folks jumped into the rental market in the last few years and we have more competition even in our specific neighborhood than I remember the last time we rented this home out 3 years ago.
