I’ve built strong relationships with local agents and other investors in the Hamptons, which helped me discover this off-market property.

Call every local investor agenda (look at the agents that have investment property listings and call them) and call every local landlord that owns multiple properties (you can get lists off of Deal Machine).

If the tenant fails to provide proof, I would reach out to a local attorney about handling the lease violation appropriately, especially since Texas has specific landlord-tenant laws.

I have a bank locally that will use DOT as collateral for loans.

@Dan Geffen moved down there and knows the area well if you want to connect with a local investor.

I'm also hopeful to get some local cooperation now that he's claiming partnerships with local government. 

There’s huge retal income potential if you nail that balance between improvements that wow tenants and improvements that merely look fancy but don’t justify higher rents.I’d also keep an eye on how your high end plan fits the local demand.

I would join local business networking groups to get inside deals.

I would look into your local Facebook pages for investors as well. 

There are a couple of car washes in my local area that are for sale that I am interested in but do not know where to start.
