I'm looking to start my long road to 25 rental properties. I have some csh to play with. My hope is to buy a single family fix and flip, make a little extra money and start this way. I have been googling auctions in my area as well as contacting agents to receive MLS emails. My question is, which is the best route to finding the best options? What are some of the bigger auction sites for the Nebraska/Omaha area?

I understand each avenues have their own pros and cons. Just looking for some perspective/advice from some of you more experienced property owners. 

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome to BP. I am looking forward to learning from everyone and then passing on my knowledge to current and new investor in the near future. @Linval T. I greatly appreciate all of the links and advice you posted.

I am a new investor in the Greater Omaha area. Looking for advice, meetings etc. Thank you for your time

I am very new to real estate investing. I have stumbled into a couple of rental properties that I pad cash for and would just deposit the rent checks every month without thinking about if I was making enough, charging too much etc. I have taking some of the money out of these properties to buy my next one. I have since learned the meaning of cash flow. I am negative cash flow about 50 bucks on one property and breaking even with a $0 being made on the other. This has opened my eyes to how difficult it is to find a good deal. I have spent weeks researching properties but find have become paralyzed by the thought of pulling the trigger and buying the wrong one. Is there any advice someone who has been in my similar position can share with me???
