I’m local and happy to connect if we can help. 

If you're more of a 'personal referral' person than a 'do research online' person, and this is local to you in Manhattan, KS, hit up one or two of the trades people in the "little apple all stars" BNI group.

I live in the greater Landover area.i am a New toi Real estate investor and  i am New toi Real estate investing toi connect with any local investor.

I would recommend tuning into Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast and going to local meetups.

I also always keep my rent increases in line with the local market, so sometimes I'll have tenants threaten to leave sometimes, and once they do their research they realize that it wouldn't make sense at all to find another property and end up paying the same thing.

I love the town, but I guess that my point is that it has substantial challenges as a full time local.

I suggest you start with developers in your local area (your county and neighboring counties level) because they would be your most likely partner or parcel buyer. 

I'm an agent and investor in Phoenix so would love to get on a call and discuss how I decided on becoming an agent and give you any insight into the local market!
