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

I'm a local broker and investor and manage 100+ investment properties.

And you are local!

Trustworthy property managers can make or break a portfolio, and I’ve found that vetting them carefully—checking their reviews, local reputation, and how they handle tenant retention—is crucial.

Running numbers, networking, and talking to local investors will boost your confidence when it’s time to pull the trigger.

It was just an offer (costs extra) through a local lender I used!

Never lend far from home.If you don’t have enough money to lend locally in first position, you don’t have enough money to lend.

A key part of our team is our talented interior designer, who helps us add that extra flair to every property we touch.We’re eager to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, contractors, and anyone else who shares our passion for real estate.

Used your HELOC to fund the down payment on a second property if the right opportunity presents, otherwise those returns wouldn’t be juicy enough for me to take on more debt for the sake of scaling if you’re buying at retail. 

That's a lot more to chew on than most non-locals want to deal with, but for those of us here, there are good opportunities to be had.
