A good term to start with is "Real Estate Investor [your state]" and look for public events you can attend.Once you start attending these event and become part of the groups, you'll find more people that have skills and goals that align with yours.Good luck!

My goal is to educate the public.  

Either way though, you can find both true private lenders and banks by researching public records.   

Owner-occupants have a window to buy before it's open to the public, so that's the main reason.

It has great potential due to its access to routes heading into the city as well as easy access to public transportation.I hope this insight helps.

It would be extremely difficult to win an argument that your peaceful enjoyment of the unit is violated just because there is a recording of the public view front yard. 

My observations:- Limited available land in desirable areas- High cost of construction for any type of structure- Developers are only making money on rehabs and luxury units, so are ignoring starter homes- Many people do not want small/starter homes- Very restrictive zoning in many communitiesSome communities (San Fran, Seattle, etc) have a crisis, and they won't solve the crisis until they ease up on zoning and also work on public transportation in a meaningful way. 

Easy access to freeway & close to public transportation.

I’d never do it.Based on my read of the TRLA, it says that in TX a licensee has a fiduciary duty to their client but you are also required to always deal fairly with the public.  

@Tony F.If you are, the family of the decedent will probably not file a petition for probate until approximately 2-3 months after the publication of the obituary.To legally purchase the decedents property then petition for probate will have to be filed and the PR will have to be confirmed by the court.During the 2-3 month period grieving, duress, confusion, etc.,  is going on within the family and no one is in their correct state of mind..The PR (Personal Representative) is the person you'll have to contact as they are responsible to distribute assets including selling the property.They make the decision on which real estate agent they choose to hire to list/sell the property and/or which wholesaler they decide to work with.
