Join a local landlord association.

My first ad budget was $295.00 credit I got from my local news paper. 

Hi @Fulati PaerhatiI'm local here in Memphis and for that price point, I would recommend the Millington and Oakland areas. 

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

I recommend familiarizing yourself with your local landlord and tenant laws, while also developing your own "screening criteria."

There are a lot of local meetups in Northern New Jersey that you can find in the Events and Meetups section of the forums as well.

I'm a new to real estate investing and I'm looking to connect with local investors.

Thanks,DJ @Donald DiBuono if you still need development help after speaking with Samuel I teach people how to become the local developer in their community.

Two of the casitas and the prototype are available to deploy in the local Las Vegas area right now and we are looking for a home for them.

Check out the events and meetups section for meet ups in your area, they are a great way to connect with local investors.
