Can anyone tell me how you find all the addresses you are going to send your letters to? Is there a certain website you use to find/filter for the properties you may be interested in?

Thank you!

Awesome advice @Chace Fraser Thank you very much!

Hey @Katie Stewart you caught my attention when you mention platforms that perform market syndication. Could you give me a few examples of these platforms? Also, do they send your listing information to platforms like Zillow/Trulia/Homefinder?

Thanks for the awesome reply @Chace Fraser ! I never even considered EDM or inspection fees, so I'm glad you brought that up. My goal early on is really just to start building equity, so I am not too worried about being cash flow positive right away. I'll most likely save up enough for an EDM, inspection, and a down payment. So, I read a typical EDM is about 2 or 3 percent of the house value (correct me if I'm wrong). Then and FHA would be 3.5% down. Plus a few hundred for an inspection. In total, would I be looking at about 6-7% of the house value as an initial investment for an average house-hack?

I am currently a senior in college and want to start investing in real estate soon after I graduate. As I hear more and more about little-to-no money down investing, I wonder how feasible it is for someone who does not have much collateral. I have a lot to bring to the table in terms of work ethic, computer skills, learning abilities, and financial education.

Do you think I should try to find good deals and find a partner or some sort of lender that would lend to me for a piece of the pie? Or do you think I should try to save money until I can afford the downpayment myself? 3.5% for an FHA loan is not bad, after all. I have been considering House-hacking my first property with a duplex.
