Hi Isaiah, I am based in Fort Lauderdale and can speak to the local market directly.  

Are you local to Richmond? 

Best bet though is a local community business bank.. 

He is a wealth of knowledge on the area and is actively investing locally as well.

Are you considering expanding locally or branching out to other areas?

Are you focusing your efforts in/around your local market?

I looked at local companies, and while many locals have great boots on the ground, they lack the economies of scale and systems like what Avantstay uses to attract, vet, monitor, and enforce. 

Not likely), vacancy (@ 8% for me), and a possible PM (10% normally).I recommend you reach out to a local seasoned investor and have them run your #s with you, as the #s depend on how you manage it (how hands on you are) and also local pricing.

I'm sure you have a great read on your local market but I'd recommend refraining from pretending to be an expert on a market you clearly know little about.Good luck!

We recently relocated to Phoenix last summer and I'm starting to look for recommendations for local credit unions here in Phoenix which are trustworthy, low rates, personal touch, easy/simple to work with, etc.
