Its always nice to hear positive things about local people. 

Hey Stefano Vrolijk,Speak with a local mortgage broker and get pre-approved for a loan. 

If you're just getting started, stay local.

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

I just need help on finding a path to get my hands on the capital  I highly recommend going and taking @Frank Rolfe's MHP bootcamp but also talk to local banks

Thank youBest,SathishkumarI would potentially try starting out being a cohost in that local area or work for a cohost company .

Find the best local real estate investor meetups that have no pitches and you will increase your knowledge, camaraderie, and motivation ten-fold.

I was working with a local credit union who pulled out at the last minute.

A single-family home or small multi-unit property can be a great way to dip your toes in the water.Build a Team: Even if you’re planning to handle most things yourself, having a good real estate agent, property manager (if needed), and a reliable handyman can make life so much easier.Learn the Local Laws: Pensacola is pretty investor-friendly, but it’s always good to know local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations if you’re thinking about Airbnb or VRBO.Run the Numbers: Make sure you’re clear on the property’s cash flow potential.

Build a strong team, prioritize cash flow, and take the time to understand the local market and regulations, especially for development projects.
