Hi Todd! Sourcing deals has been a challenge because it seems all of the markets I'm looking in are oversaturated. It seemed no matter who I called, if I got someone, they'd already heard from a thousand other people trying to buy their house. 

My county has a tedious process for acquiring probates, but I've been going through that process to get leads and have a much higher response rate, it's just more time consuming because it requires me to physically sit at the court house, go through records, and write them down lol.

The other thing I've found challenging is being a one-woman show - acquisitions, dispositions, accounting, admin - but I realize this can be a pain point for a lot of new investors. 

I'm currently educating myself on commercial wholesaling, but that's a whole different ballgame.

I'm a new investor and am using wholesaling as a strategy to build capital so that I can eventually scale to buy and holds. I felt very confident about this plan until actually working deals. Wholesaling is very time consuming, and the return on my investment of time and effort is not always guaranteed or worth it in my opinion. What other strategies would you recommend when getting started in investing with minimal capital outside of wholesaling  (by minimal I mean about $60K of my own money). OR - should I stay the course with wholesaling, keep trading my time for dollars for a while, and learn as much as I can before making riskier investments? 

I'm looking for information or to create a thread to discuss the topic of buy or selling multi family properties off-market. Any and all advice would be helpful and I would love to connect with anyone to learn more about this topic!

Thank you, I have looked into a few of those. When you refer to the Rust Belt, what are you referring to? I have never heard that term.
