Would love to connect with local RE agents and have an idea of the market situation in SA.

Johnny, sometimes the best lenders aren’t local.

Hi Daniel, Columbus GA has properties much lower in price than the metro Atlanta area, you should do fine to learn your local market.

You could start with your agent or a local agent who supports investors and could have contacts to refer to you.Lastly, you could consider negotiating with a local PM to take on a hybrid approach to management.  

For instance, many tribal lands are exempt from state and local property taxes, which can obviously lead to significant savings.

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

Someone local who has familiarity with this would be your best person to give you the information you requested.

Perhaps check with a local attorney before proceeding.I realise I left some stuff out in the beginning, but the whole situation in general is just pretty wild.

Have you gone to any local meetups?
