Tom

Welcome to BP.   Always great meeting local investor.  I would check out some of the local REIs in the area.  This is where you will meet a lot of great local contacts.  Also don't forget to ask a lot of questions the BP community is great for sharing experiences and opinions.  If you have any extra deals looking to wholesale I always looking for another project.    

Happy Investing.
