I'm looking for a duplex in the area that I just moved to so that someone else can pay my mortgage (credit to @G_Alexander). I start going to a local real estate investment group per his recommendation, and I've quite a few people who are eager to share advice and ideas. Since I'm new to this there is plenty that I have to research & verify, but I am getting a lot of info for free.
One specific insight that someone gave me was to walk around neighborhoods that I am interested in living in, chat with people walking around or even knock on doors asking them for help. They emphasized framing it as asking for help because apparently most people like to help. They said that this is a good way to get leads on people who might be looking to sell & gaining valuable information about the neighborhood because there are some things that you won't find from a Google search and you have to learn just from living in a place for a while.
The cool thing is that there are people younger than me (I'm 28) doing this too. I take it as a (positive) challenge when someone younger than me is ahead of me.
Lots of opportunities.
What opportunities have you come across lately? It can be anything.
