One of them does rent-by-the-room - advertising on FB groups, the other has a triplex that she rents out the other two units to travelling nurses. 

From there, take that data and build out a marketing strategy, whether it be social media, advertising online, billboards, tv, radio, direct mail, email, etc....

I advertise there for Tampa market and have met a lot of great clients - so I would try there and if there is no agent with STR background then ask around it local FB groups.

I’ve been hearing a lot about turnkey properties — homes that are already renovated, tenant-occupied, and ready to cash flow from day one.On paper, they sound like a stress-free way to get started (especially if you’re not local), but I’ve also read mixed opinions about whether they really perform as advertised once you factor in management fees, maintenance, and long-term expenses.For those who’ve bought turnkey rentals:Did the numbers hold up after your first year or two?

This sounds more like an advertisement than a market update.

These deals aren’t advertised as such; they are CREATED by the real estate investor.   

If someone is just posting thinly veiled advertising, that's a little tougher to police but certainly feel free to flag anything you think might be so and someone will take a look at it.Without the public's assistance a lot of stuff will get by the moderators.

As mention by Rod, I agree on that wholesaling is way to start, sometime same property is advertise by multiple investors.

There was a investment that was advertised by RTR and SWFL Advisors and they referred us over to Blacktip Construction Group.

For finding agents who specialize in working with out-of-state investors and off-market deals, networking is huge—connect with local investor meetups, join Ohio-focused Facebook groups, BiggerPockets threads, and reach out to agents who advertise themselves as investor-friendly or who have strong rental portfolios themselves.
